about

An Australian Christmas song written for Canteen.

lyrics

Christmas Again

Some days we rush through our lives
Some days we don’t get too far
It’s a complicated world

We think of the people we love
As we drive through the freeways of life
It’s hard to be around
We need to slow it down

Say goodbye to the blues
Hello to the news
The lights are up again
With family for lunch
And dinner with friends
Follow the star, come as you are
To Christmas again

Remember we used to hang socks
We got them from Dad’s bottom drawer
And we’d try to stay awake

Maybe they’re playing that film
Where it snows in the middle of town
It’s the wrong time of year
The sun shines down here

Say goodbye to the blues
Hello to the news
The lights are up again
With family for lunch
And dinner with friends
Follow the star, come as you are
To Christmas again

Comes ‘round slow when you’re young
And fast as you grow
But at the same time each year
Hold your loved ones near

Say goodbye to the blues
Hello to the news
The lights are up again
With family for lunch
And dinner with friends
Follow the star, come as you are
To Christmas again
