chorus



You're as slow as christmas, i was up before the dawn

Up so fast i missed it or was that old saying wrong

Every christmas day makes every other day seem long

And what seemed would never get here

Has so quickly come and gone



Verse one



I've heard old sayings, old cliches and

Most of them make sense

But we're wiser in our younger days not easily convinced

There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes

And it seems that santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies



(repeat chorus)



Verse two



We're bringing in another year let's throw the old one back

With my new train i'll be the engineer

And hurry down the track

While i know that time is standing still

I hear that old cliche

And i'm more convinced it does until that

One december day



Chorus two



When i'm as slow as christmas

I'll be up before the dawn

I'm gonna miss this

I know that old saying's wrong

Every christmas day makes other day seem long

And what seemed would never get here

Has so quickly come and gone,

Come and gone
