See I can remember the days When I was so excited I couldn't sleep And there were presents that sat under the tree Was there for me I used to wish for a lot I'ma even write a list So I never forgot what I was thinking about And then I'd mail it off to see If my wishes will come true Every time I look at the stars At night up in heaven (up in heaven) I can reminisce how Christmas used to be (How it used to be) As a child I remember life seemed so much better (So much better, so much better) How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves **Chorus** I miss my younger days of Christmas Oh, I miss my younger days of Christmas Said I missed my younger days of Christmas I reminisce about my younger days of Christmas See I can remember running around Playing in the snow Tricking little girls under the mistle toe Laughings are everywhere While the beautiful sounds of Christmas fill the air Momma's in the kitchen cooking While the rest of the family sits around the tree How I wish I could turn back the hands of time 'Cause Christmas ain't the same to me Every time I look at the stars At night up in heaven (everytime, everytime, everytime) I can reminisce how Christmas used to be (Reminisce how it used to be) As a child I remember life seemed so much better (I tell you it was better) How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves (hey, hey) **Chorus** 2x Every time I look at the stars At night up in heaven I can reminisce how Christmas used to be As a child I remember life seemed so much better (You know it did) How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves
