《My Christmas List Grows Shorter Every Year》歌词

[00:00:09] My christmas list grows shorter every year things just aren't the way they were before

[00:00:27] My christmas list grows shorter every year it's almost not like christmas anymore

[00:00:45] I guess it's 'cause I came from a pretty big family

[00:00:48] Christmas was always a big happy time

[00:00:52] We used to swap presents with aunts

[00:00:54] Uncles and cousins

[00:00:56] Course most of the presents just came from the five and dime

[00:01:02] I remember how I used to get such a big kick out of wrappin'

[00:01:04] Just a simple little box and placin' it under the tree

[00:01:11] Everybody at my house used to laugh and said that I was born

[00:01:13] With a little too much of the spirit of christmas in me

[00:01:20] I left home a few years ago now and it seemed then that things started to change

[00:01:29] Mom passed on now daddy's gone

[00:01:33] Christmas' seem sorta strange

[00:01:38] Sister ran off with some weird kinda guy I never did understand him too much

[00:01:45] My kid brother's off somewhere in the service

[00:01:48] And he never was the kind to stay in touch

[00:01:55] Course I started my own family a few years ago

[00:01:58] My wife and I had two of the cutest little girls

[00:02:03] I ha ha remember last christmas I really went wild

[00:02:06] I bought them just about everything in the whole wide world

[00:02:11] And I remember on the christmas eve night I took 'em upon my lap

[00:02:15] And I told them the story of jesus

[00:02:17] And the santa claus and the eight tiny reindeer

[00:02:22] All I wish now is the spirit of christmas could have lingered throughout the whole year

[00:02:30] You see my wife left me back in September the kids are with her I don't know where

[00:02:39] I'd love to just send them a small christmas card

[00:02:42] To let them know that daddy does care

[00:02:47] 'Cause christmas is a time for sharing your gifts and your heart

[00:02:51] With the ones that you love the best

[00:02:55] But sittin' here tonight lookin' at this big sheet of paper

[00:02:59] I don't even have one single address

[00:03:04] My christmas list grows shorter every year oh what I'd give to just go back in time

[00:03:21] My christmas list grows shorter every year the only name that's left this year is mine
