Slow as Christmas

You're as slow as christmas,
 I was up before the dawn
 Up so fast I missed it
 Or was that old saying wrong
 Every Christmas Day makes
 Every other day seem long
 What seemed would never get here
 Has so quickly come and gone.
 I've heard old sayings, old cliches
 And most of them make sense
 But we're wiser in our younger days
 Not easily convinced
 There's no way to look ahead
 With the wool over your eyes
 And it seems that Santa's sled
 Isn't the only thing that flies.
 You're as slow as christmas,
 I was up before the dawn
 Up so fast I missed it
 Or was that old saying wrong
 Every Christmas Day makes
 Every other day seem long
 What seemed would never get here
 Has so quickly come and gone.
 --- Imstrumental ---
 We're bringing in another year
 Let's throw the old one back
 With my new train, I'll be the engineer
 And hurry down the track
 While I know that time is standing still
 I hear that old cliche
 And I'm more convinced it does until that
 One December day.
 When I'm as slow as christmas
 I'll be up before the dawn
 I'm not gonna miss this
 I know that old saying's wrong
 Every christmas day makes other day seem long
 What seemed would never get here
 Has so quickly come and gone,
 Come and gone...
