lyrics

Christmas ain't Christmas like it used to be
I'm missing loved ones like it's the end of me
So many things that I wish I could say
I wish I'd known then what I'm missing today

Christmas ain't Christmas like it used to be
So many passed on from the family tree
I miss my Mama and her mama too
And all that are gone where the sky's always blue

Christmas ain't Christmas like it used to be
Especially when it comes down to what it means
I ain't preaching about Jesus, or maybe I am
These days it just seems like it's all a big scam

Christmas ain't Christmas like it was for years
Sneaking tokes with cousins, varietypack beer
Then on to the feast up on old Bronson street
And opening gifts after everyone eats

We didn't even know it, or just how to show it
But the things that we'll always hold dear
They're passing in time, like grapes on the vine
Ain't no wine gonna break through that fear

Christmas ain't Christmas like it once was
I don't walk around a slave to a buzz
I'm free from the demon that pulled me away
I missed so much time and it's still going away

I keep in memory
All things so dear to me
Christmas ain't Christmas
Christmas ain't Christmas like it used to be
