Clint Black - Slow As Christmas lyrics

chorus You're as slow as christmas, i was up before the dawn Up so fast i missed it or was that old saying wrong Every christmas day makes every other day seem long And what seemed would never get here Has so quickly come and gone Verse one I've heard old sayings, old cliches and Most of them make sense But we're wiser in our younger days not easily convinced There's no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes And it seems that santa's sled isn't the only thing that flies (repeat chorus) Verse two We're bringing in another year let's throw the old one back With my new train i'll be the engineer And hurry down the track While i know that time is standing still I hear that old cliche And i'm more convinced it does until that One december day Chorus two When i'm as slow as christmas I'll be up before the dawn I'm gonna miss this I know that old saying's wrong Every christmas day makes other day seem long And what seemed would never get here Has so quickly come and gone, Come and gone
