CHRISTMAS GIFTS
Christmas Trees are tied up on the roof of our car
My dad used to take us to a farm way up north
The car was so noisy as we learned those old songs
If I could have day with him, oh just one more
If I could I ask for one more dream, anything I want
Just one more ride with him teaching me Christmas songs
Pick a tree, cut it down, and take it home
The simple pleasures of my youth seem so long ago
When I was a kid, oh I didn't know
That Christmas gifts weren't important after all
Everything that mattered is still right here with me
I carry it here with me
Oh, ornaments so shiny, twinkling stars, and lots of lights
Stockings hung near the chimney on a cold, winter night
Memories of my father drinking whiskey by the tree
As we untangle Christmas lights, sing in harmony
When I was a kid, oh I didn't know
That Christmas gifts weren't important after all
Everything that mattered is still right here with me
I carry it here with me
Now my dad is gone and so many things have changed
I'm the oldest one and my kids have babies
Try to be a person that they always can call
I try to carry on the lessons that he taught
Christmas comes around, I can't help but think of him
I like to think that he's up in Heaven
Love is most important, memories can not be bought
I see it more with time, I learned that early on
When I was a kid, oh I didn't know
That Christmas gifts weren't important after all
Everything that mattered is still right here with me
I carry it here with me
When I was a kid, oh I didn't know
That Christmas gifts weren't important after all
Everything that mattered is still right here with me
I carry it here with me
I carry it here with me
