SENTIMENTAL SONG
You know it's not my time of year
Too many heartaches and far too many tears
Miles apart from the family I hold dear
I find it hard to play along
While I watch the fire glow
Some go hungry, while others play with gold
Away in a manger the night is growing cold
I find it hard to sing along
It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again
In candy canes and mistletoe
White lights and wishes tied up with a bow
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again
You know it's just that time of year
Memories play while I try to raise a cheer
They hang on the tree just like silent souvenirs
I find them hard to string along
Sometimes I'd rather be alone
I've got my reasons; I just thought
that you should know
The saddest of seasons since we
watched my mother go
I find it hard to sing along
It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again
In angels dancing in the snow
Sleigh bells and reindeer prancing in a row
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again
It's just a simple melody
Pulls at my heartstrings,
and sets my spirit free
I remember the words,
how she sang them to me
And so I'll try to sing along
It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again
In candy canes and mistletoe
White lights and wishes tied up with a bow
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again
You know it's not my time of year…

Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove
I run off where the drifts get deeper
Sleeping Beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up
For yourself 'cause I can't always be around"
He says, when you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Girls get discovered as winter melts
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
Mirror, mirror, where's the crystal palace?
But I only can see myself
Skating around the truth who I am
But I know, Dad, the ice is getting thin
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say I wanted you to be proud
I always wanted that myself
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast
All the white horses have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear
Never change
All the white horses aah-aah
Mmm-mmm
