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   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.      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   What seemed would never get here   Has so quickly come and gone.      --- Imstrumental ---      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.      When I'm as slow as christmas   I'll be up before the dawn   I'm not gonna miss this   I know that old saying's wrong   Every christmas day makes other day seem long   What seemed would never get here   Has so quickly come and gone,   Come and gone...
