The Kid In Me

(专辑： Christmas At Home - 1998)

Though it's barely December, I can already see
Snow on the sidewalks and lights on the tree
There's something 'bout Christmas that leads me to believe
A child's still living in me, yeah

I still remember what used to be delight
Dreaming of reindeer on Christmas Eve night
One eye half open, the other asleep
It's funny what I chose to believe

[Chorus]
It happens each time December draws near
A child is reborn this time of year when I
I start wrapping the presents and hanging the lights
I start making a list and checking it twice
Start hanging the holly and the mistletoe
And off I go
Back to what I used to be
It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me

Sneaking into the kitchen past the fireplace light
Eating holiday cookies in the middle of the night
I stare out the window to see all the lights
See the stars are shining bright tonight

When the family's together swapping stories of old
Don't they seem to get better they are told?
And like all the others, I fight to resist
Aunt Helen's yearly holiday kiss

[Chorus]

No matter how old you are
No matter how long it's been
You're never too far away
From the child who lives within

Start wrapping the presents and hanging the lights
Start making a list and checking it twice
Start hanging the holly and the mistletoe
And off I go
Back to what I used to be
It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, oh yeah
It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, yeah
It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, oh, yeah
It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, yeah, yeah
It's funny how Christmas, it brings out the kid in you and me, yeah, yeah
