Bumpy Sleigh Ride

This holiday is not like the years before
With lots of family running round and presents out the door
This year might be simple or maybe a little sad
So let's think about the good old days and better times we had

Remember back in '42 when we had the first white Christmas
Palm tree tops glistening at the palms that dance amidst
The only thing that anybody had upon their lips
Is a Western Union Telegram saying, "I'll be home for Christmas"

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, son
This merry-calling melody goes all year long
Santa baby, let it snow 'cause we got nowhere else to go
So stay at home and have a blue blue Christmas

Let's go back to '97 or 1985
What a wonderful feeling
To be outside and see the light, and this bumpy sleigh ride

We're walking in a winter wonderland
Away from home and listening to a strange band
In a distant valley, you can hear the children singing
At midnight, you wake to hear the Christmas bells a-ringing

Let's go back to '97, 1985
What a wonderful feeling
To be outside and see the light, and this bumpy sleigh ride

Sometimes it's hard to say what picture can convey
I've been good all year and nothing's ever changed
Jingle bells and Christmastime is here again
Someday soon, we'll check the halls like you remember well

Let's go back to '97 or 1985
What a wonderful feeling
To be outside and see the light, and this bumpy sleigh ride
