Crowder's song reflects on the end of the Christmas season, capturing the bittersweet transition from holiday festivities to ordinary life. The lyrics mention taking down decorations, putting away Christmas songs, and the promise of doing it all again next year. It incorporates the traditional Scottish poem 'Auld Lang Syne,' which is often sung at New Year's, to emphasize themes of memory and looking back on past times. The song is a gentle, nostalgic reflection on the passing of the holiday season and the cycle of traditions.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

The time has finally come again

The day when Christmas starts to end

There?s no more presents underneath the tree

 

There?s half a pie still in the fridge

And honey ham for sandwiches

One more year of making memories

 

Should old acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should old acquaintance be forgot

And days of auld lang syne?

 

Are you taking down the lights today

Are you one of those who waits ?til May?

Promising a bigger show next year

 

One more week, the ball will drop

You?ll put away these Christmas songs

But come November they?ll be waiting here

 

For auld lang syne, my dear

For auld lang syne

We'll take a cup o' kindness yet

For days of auld lang syne
