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
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.

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.

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
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone.


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.

When I'm as slow as christmas
I'll be up before the dawn
I'm not gonna miss this
I know that old saying's wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
What seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone...
