Robin Levinson - Christmases Are.... Lyrics

You watched me there, I was but three
Excited and nervous on Old St Nick's knee

Then through my school days, you'd wait at the gate
An anxious young father each time I was late

My teenage, new dress, first dance and a guy
I turned back to wave... you had started to cry

Then Christmas and carols those songs to be sung
Warm stockings, twirled tinsel, gay lights to be hung

Close friends pressed together on foggy sleigh rides

These were the best, these were the best
These were the very best days of our lives

Christmas's are the best days of our lives

The story of Christmas, the stories I've known
Of wise men, a star in the East as I've grown

A saviour child who would show us the light
A father above who would teach us what's right
Through his son

God gave us his son
.
Ignoring your smile, I watched you there
A handsome young man with a shock of blonde hair

Then after work when we started to date
I'd look at my watch, you'd always be late

The Christmas Eve Ball and you were my guy
You danced with another... I ran home to cry

Then Christmas, the carols, those songs to be sung
Warm stockings, twirled tinsel, gay lights to be hung

Close friends pressed together on foggy sleigh rides

These were the best, these were the best
These were the very best days of our lives

Christmas's are the best days of our lives

The story of Christmas, the stories I've known
Of wise men, a star in the East as I've grown

A saviour child who would show us the light
A father above who would teach us what's right
Through his son

God gave us his son

When you were born, my son with no hair
You clutched at my breast, we locked in a stare

Too soon to school, I'd wait at the gate
A nervous young mother afraid you'd be late

The Christmas School dance with a girl as her guy
You turned back to wave... I'd started to cry

Then Christmas, the carols, those songs to be sung
Warm stockings, twirled tinsel, gay lights to be hung

Close friends pressed together on foggy sleigh rides
These were the best, these were the best
These were the very best days of our lives
Christmas's are the best days of our lives

The story of Christmas, the stories I've known
Of wise men, a star in the East as I've grown

A saviour child who would show us the light
A father above who would teach us what's right
Through his son

God gave his son

Gran saw you there, hiding from me
Searching for presents under the tree

School days too soon but you couldn't wait
Impatient and anxious I stood at the gate

I scolded you when you told me a lie
My heart broke in two as you started to cry

Then Christmas and carols those songs to be sung
Warm stockings, twirled tinsel, gay lights to be hung

Close friends pressed together on foggy sleigh rides
These were the best, these were the best
These were the very best days of our lives

Christmas's are the best days of our lives

God gave us his son

A grandma, a mother, a daughter, a wife
These are my memories the jewels of my life

Each Christmas, the carols those songs to be sung
Warm stockings, twirled tinsel, gay lights to be hung

Close friends pressed together on foggy sleigh rides
These were the best, these were the best
These were the very best days of our lives
Christmas's are the best days of our lives
