Every year I'd wait for the season Only Christmas time can bring I thought I understood the reason For all the parties and caroling Every year I'd search for the meaning Every time I'd dress the tree Each new ornament and garland Each decoration was all I'd see And all that Christmas meant to me Then someone told me Christmas is for children And I left that behind too long ago But now I see Christmas through a child's eyes My new son's eyes Now every time we ring in the season And play a Christmas melody I know that the moment he hears it He'll bring Christmas back to me
