lyrics

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Remember all the funny things that we once said
Remember all the silly times we shared
Now we know that life is more than fun and games and cuddles
So I'm glad that we made sure those things were there

Remember when you hear the sleighbells ringing
Like cicadas in the trees round the place you live
Remember when the darkness grows
The light can swallow all your woes
And all you have to have is just your heart to give

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

Remember all the things we said when we were young
Remember all that we aspired to be
Now we know the wisdom from a child's tounge
Cause we knew then what we'd always ever need

Remember when you see lights twinkling on the trees
Like the fireflys waiting just to be in sync
Remember when the sun is setting
And you're forgiven but forgetting
Life is not a game that you can play for keeps

So what you say let's keep the memories?

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
