C G7
Well don't it make you wanna be a kid again
C
Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases that we had back then
F
We all came together full of love and joy
D7 G7
And that was more important than a brand new toy
C G7
Just remembering the happiness we had back then
C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
I remember running down the wooden stairs
C
The sweet smell of momma's cooking everywhere
F
Before long all the family was there
D7 G7
The sound of our laughter soon filled the air
C G7
We all bundled up for the cold outside
C
And sang Christmas carols on the big sleigh ride
F
Just thingin' 'bout the times we had back then
G7 C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
I was always the angel in our Christmas play
C
They tried to pin my halo but it never stayed
F
Momma said I was the best anyway
D7 G7
She always seemed to know the right things to say
C G7
There was always magic around the Christmas tree
C
And always something special just for me
F
If the times were hard we never knew it then
G7 C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
Yes don't it make you wanna be a kid again
C
Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases we had back then
F
We all came together full of love and joy
D7 G7
And that was more important than a brand new toy
C G7
Just remembering the happiness we had back then
C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
Yes don't it make you wanna be a kid again
C
Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases we had back then
F
We were full of innocence and believed in Santa Clause
D7 G7
We were happy just to be alive because
C G7
We all came together full of love and joy
C
And that was more important than a brand new toy
F
Remembering the happiness we had back then

Remembering the happiness we had back then
