Lyrics:
As children we once played
In the snow and on ice we’d skate
Hand and hand time would fade
Uncertain of our fate
Time seemed to stand still
Lost in winterland dreams
We felt the thrill
As we planned life schemes
Chorus
No matter how the years may pass
Or how far the miles may seem
The memories of joy will last
Together we will be
Sharing songs of Christmas
And ribbons of red and green
Each Christmas Eve I dream
You’ll come home soon to me
And together we will bring
The New Year in and see
The globe drop in the square
For all the world to see
So loved ones all can share
Love from the giving tree
The Christmas season is more
Than presents ‘neath the tree
Or gifts brought from a store
It’s open heart, no apologies
Chorus
No matter how the years may pass
Or how far the miles may seem
The memories of joy will last
Together we will be
Sharing songs of Christmas
And ribbons of red and green
Presents ‘neath the tree
Are waiting here for you
But more importantly
Let’s share Christmas deja vu
Refrain
With an open heart I wait
And ‘neath the tree I dream
That you will share my fate
And childhood life schemes
