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
Uup 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
