Christmas Through The Years

Pictures in frames tell the story of us
Mistletoe kiss, two young kids so in love
Now we look back and smile at
Christmas through the years
Blink of an eye and the next thing you know
Those two young kids had some kids of their own
Jumping in the bed, wake up, mom and dad
Christmas day is here

One chapter ends and a new one begins

It's growing up and staying young
Laughing with the ones we love
In a world where nothing stays the same
It's finding some things never change
It's making brand new memories
And all the while remembering
The ones we miss and wish were still right here
So let's hold onto this before it disappears
Like Christmas through the years

The family's all here hanging lights on the tree
A sight I know grandma would love to have seen
Bet she's looking down, saying make 'em count
Christmas through the years

It's growing up and staying young
Laughing with the ones we love
In a world where nothing stays the same
It's finding some things never change
It's making brand new memories
And all the while remembering
The ones we miss and wish were still right here
So let's hold onto this before it disappears
Like Christmas through the years

We can't make the clock slow down
But we got Christmas here right now
Let's soak it up and thank the Lord
For another one

It's growing up and staying young
Laughing with the ones we love
In a world where nothing stays the same
It's finding some things never change
It's making brand new memories
And all the while remembering
The ones we miss and wish were still right here
So let's hold onto this before it disappears
Like Christmas through the years
Christmas through the years
