Mel Gibson - Christmas Long Ago Lyrics
There used to be a Christmas tree in the center of the squareAnd it was strung with Christmas lights and laced with angel hairAll the windows of the shops were decorated brightShoppers rushing everywhere for a gift so rightLittle kids are making snowmen in their neighbor's yardsChristmas carolers singing "In A Manger He Was Born"Lovers strolling hand-in-hand on streets of winter snowThat's the way it used to be Christmas long agoI still love Christmas, I love it soThe way it used to be, so long agoWith Christmas plays and mistletoeCaroling and big red bowsIt's Christmas long agoIt used to be on Christmas Eve I'd listen from my bedFor the sound of sleigh bells and reindeer overheadI always seemed to fall asleep no matter how I triedBut in my dreams old Santa came and took me for a rideThe next thing that I knew my mom and dad were at my doorSaying "Merry Christmas", it's the day you've waited forA single star above our tree, I still can see it glowThat's the way it used to be Christmas long agoAnd that's the way it used to be Christmas long ago
