Don't Let Christmas Pass You By

[00:23.05] We're gathered 'round the tree
[00:25.15] Dad's dressed in red
[00:27.52] It wasn't fooling me
[00:29.63] That fake beard he had
[00:31.76] I knew he wasn't Santa
[00:34.95] But he sure could play the part
[00:40.55] He'd make us take our time
[00:42.60] Each gift we had
[00:44.97] One by one would drive me mad
[00:49.20] As I look back now
[00:52.40] Those memories are gold
[00:56.37] I wanna go back to those days
[01:01.79] Stop time, replay just one more night
[01:10.67] Won't let Christmas pass me by
[01:20.13] Many years have passed
[01:22.02] We still gather 'round
[01:24.18] And he's still Santa
[01:26.56] With a real beard
[01:28.64] Grandchildren on his knee
[01:31.36] He still can play the part
[01:37.11] These kids can be crazy
[01:39.36] They always want to play
[01:41.69] I swear he don't mind
[01:44.07] He's in his favorite place
[01:46.16] If home is where the heart is
[01:49.33] His family is home
[01:53.54] I wanna go back to those days
[01:58.50] Stop time, replay just one more night
[02:07.08] Won't let Christmas pass me by
[02:15.55] Oh the call came in the spring
[02:18.70] Said he was gone
[02:21.03] My heart sank
[02:22.98] I put a brave face on
[02:25.32] I knew this day was coming
[02:27.46] Nothing could prepare
[02:29.56] Last Christmas was the last one
[02:32.26] With my father there
[02:37.03] I wanna go back to those days
[02:42.05] Stop time, replay just one more night
[02:50.14] Oh just one more day
[02:55.02] Can't go back to those days
[02:59.74] Can't stop, replay
[03:03.90] Oh take the time
[03:08.40] Don't let Christmas pass you by
[03:16.41] No, don't let it pass you by
[03:26.73]
