In a boy’s lifenAll the things going wrongnMomentarily felt alrightnWith Christmas in the airnAnd school nowhere in sightnWe’d set everything aside for oncenNobody dared to fightnMom loved dad and dad loved backnThe gifts made that clear that night nnI’ve been countin’ onnThat rescue by ChristmasnThat time every yearnWas it just me or was everyonenGlowin’ like no one was glowin’ all year? nnOur holiday records play loud enoughnSometimes it’s tough to talknIf you need menI’ll be out shovelin’ the walknWe keep the Christmas lights bright enoughnSometimes it’s tough to seenThe faces that we forcenAs we gather around the tree nnI’m still waitin’ onnThat magic I’m missingnThough Christmas draws nearnThe snow’s out, the tree’s on, the family’s herenBut the feeling’s more elusivenWith each passing year nnI wouldn’t trade it for anything n
