Just a Kid (Haneiros Halalu)

I can still see the headlights
Light up the driveway
Snow covered bushes surrounding our lawn
The wood panel sides of that old station wagon
And everyone shouting that Tatty is home

I ran to the door
And you lifted me up
Danced to the table
By the window set up
With all the menorahs
Waiting there for us
To sing

Haneiros Halalu Kodesh Hem
To me there is more than the light that they bring
They remind me of times you and I used to sing
When I was still just a kid

Wet boots and snow pants
Gloves, runny nose
Ear muffs and hand-me-down
Big brothers clothes

Un-Velcro my little boots
Stamp off the snow
Frying pan oil
And sufganiyot

And you run to the door
And you lifted me up
Danced to the table
By the window set up
With all the menorahs
Waiting there for us
To sing

Haneiros Halalu Kodesh Hem
To me there is more than the light that they bring
They remind me of times you and I used to sing
When I was still just a kid

Snow on my windowsill
Quiet apartment
I listen to all the cars passing below
I wish one of them was your old station wagon
It's silly I know
It's been years since you've gone

I wish you were coming home
Lifting me up
Dance me to the table
By the window set up
With my one small menorah
Waiting here for us to sing

Haneiros Halalu Kodesh Hem
To me there is more than the light that they bring
They remind me of times you and I used to sing
When I was still just a kid

It feels like I'm still just a kid
