Wishing you all the magic and wonder of the season. May this song help you find the child within you again. Merry Christmas! πŸŽ„βœ¨πŸŽΆ [Verse 1] I took the box down from the shelf And took a moment for myself I lifted up the cardboard lid And suddenly, I was a kid A tangled string of colored lights Thinking of those frozen nights When all the world was white and new And every wish was coming true [Chorus] Oh, the magic of the star and the pine The way the tinsel used to shine It only takes a certain song To take me back where I belong A little ghost of cinnamon A memory of where I’ve been It all comes back, so soft and mild Through the eyes of a child [Verse 2] I close my eyes and I can see The star upon the highest tree The smell of cookies in the hall Reflections in a red glass ball Waiting for the morning sun To see exactly what was done We didn’t have a lot of things But oh, the joy that memory brings [Chorus] Oh, the magic of the star and the pine The way the tinsel used to shine It only takes a certain song To take me back where I belong A little ghost of cinnamon A memory of where I’ve been It all comes back, so soft and mild Through the eyes of a child [Bridge] The years go by, the seasons change And grown-up life is loud and strange But when the snow begins to fall I answer to that distant call Of silent nights and golden glow From Christmases of long ago [Instrumental Interlude] (Orchestral strings and sleigh bells) [Chorus] Oh, the magic of the star and the pine The way the tinsel used to shine It only takes a certain song To take me back where I belong A little ghost of cinnamon A memory of where I’ve been It all comes back, so soft and mild Through the eyes of a child [Outro] Just a little scent of pine... (So soft and mild) Just like it was... Once upon a time.
