Childhood

(Instrumental) ... (Verse 1) The only place I wish to go, To which I’d gladly make my way, Though we had no tree in the snow, And received no presents on Christmas Day. ... (Chorus) I had a sled made out of wood, And thick socks woven from soft yarn, Knitted by grandma, kind and good, By candle flame, to keep us warm. ... (Instrumental) ... (Verse 2) I return to feel the joy once more, On that sacred, holy Christmas night, The snow piled high up to the door, While carols we sang, bathed in street light. ... (Chorus) And to prepare my little bag, To run to every door again, I do, To get the treats they used to drag, A sweet roll from the trough, baked fresh and new. ... (Instrumental) ... (Outro) Perhaps that evening, in a hurry, I left her on the road behind, I fear, And still I wait, in hope and worry, To see her come back, at least this time of year. ... (Instrumental) ...
