December's Children

It's seventeen degrees out but I'm feeling warmer Find another way to light a fire, again It's Christmas time but I'm feeling farther away I miss my friends but I'm by my own side today Sometimes I miss when people and things seemed much simpler Is there anything that's sacred anymore? Baby it's cold outside but you don't need an excuse to stay Please invite me over let's gather 'round, have a drink and say Christmas lives inside me I wonder if I'll ill Lose my Childish eye for things All I want is a smile from you Warmth It lives in all of you Please let it out for me today When you say happy holiday Is there any other way to remember That your not stuck with only yourself on this earth Take a walk to the city bask in the Warm tan glow of lights, you'll see People downtown sure are friendly I remember Stayed up for hours the grinch VHS This very year they remade it again My mom kept the peace when times they got rough She still buys me presents; Thinks it's never enough All I wanted were presents The lights they were pleasant I relished in all of this Selfish and innocent Now I'm grown with no plan And the season feels bland Child of December I'm trying to remember Christmas lives inside me I wonder if I'll ill ever Lose my Childish eye for things All I want is a smile from you Warmth It lives in all of you Please let it out for me today When you say happy holiday It's seventeen degrees outside But I'm feeling Warmer Warmer Warmer Warmer
