See I can remember the days
When I was so excited I couldn't sleep
And there were presents that sat under the tree
Was there for me
I used to wish for a lot
I'ma even write a list
So I never forgot what I was thinking about
And then I'd mail it off to see
If my wishes will come true
Every time I look at the stars
At night up in heaven (up in heaven)
I can reminisce how Christmas used to be
(How it used to be)
As a child I remember life seemed so much better
(So much better, so much better)
How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves
**Chorus**
I miss my younger days of Christmas
Oh, I miss my younger days of Christmas
Said I missed my younger days of Christmas
I reminisce about my younger days of Christmas
See I can remember running around
Playing in the snow
Tricking little girls under the mistle toe
Laughings are everywhere
While the beautiful sounds of Christmas fill the air
Momma's in the kitchen cooking
While the rest of the family sits around the tree
How I wish I could turn back the hands of time
'Cause Christmas ain't the same to me
Every time I look at the stars
At night up in heaven
(everytime, everytime, everytime)
I can reminisce how Christmas used to be
(Reminisce how it used to be)
As a child I remember life seemed so much better
(I tell you it was better)
How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves (hey, hey)
**Chorus** 2x
Every time I look at the stars
At night up in heaven
I can reminisce how Christmas used to be
As a child I remember life seemed so much better
(You know it did)
How I long to go back to those Christmas Eves
