lyrics

We’d open the first advent calendar door
And the tree would already be down from its store
Then came the temptation you couldn’t resist
You had to start making a list

And as I retrace
The traditions that you put in place
I wish you were here
More than ever this time of year

You'd fill the drinks cabinet up till it groaned
Get out every glass bowl and plate that we owned
Inviting round people who we hardly knew
And making them feel welcome too

And as I retrace
The traditions that you put in place
I wish you were here
More than ever this time of year

You put so much thought
Into each gift you bought
Heaven knows what you spent
Every time you swore never again

But you’d always say
It was worth it on Christmas Day
To be with those you loved
And I know that you meant it because
Of the way that you smiled
And your face lit up like a child
Now it’s passed down to me
But it not quite the same as it used to be
Now it’s passed down to me
But it not quite the same as it used to be
Now it’s passed down to me
But it not quite the same as it used to be …

I love Jetstream Pony. To use a cliche, their music is like a warm, comforting blanket that envelopes you, covers you completely, and keeps you safe and warm. Custom Made In 1968
