(Clint Black)      (Chorus:)   You’re as slow as christmas, I was up before the dawn   Up so fast I missed it or was that old saying wrong   Every christmas day makes every other day seem long   And what seemed would never get here   Has so quickly come and gone      I’ve heard old sayings, old cliches and   Most of them make sense   But we’re wiser in our younger days not easily convinced   There’s no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes   And it seems that santa’s sled isn’t the only thing that flies      (Chorus)      We’re bringing in another year let’s throw the old one back   With my new train I’ll be the engineer   And hurry down the track   While I know that time is standing still   I hear that old cliche   And I’m more convinced it does until that   One december day      (Chorus 2x)      When I’m as slow as christmas   I’ll be up before the dawn   I’m gonna miss this   I know that old saying’s wrong   Every christmas day makes other day seem long   And what seemed would never get here   Has so quickly come and gone,   Come and gone
