[00:00:10] My Christmas list grows shorter every year

[00:00:19] Things just aren't the way they were before

[00:00:27] My Christmas list grows shorter every year

[00:00:35] It's almost not like Christmas anymore

[00:00:45] I guess it's 'cause I came from a pretty big family

[00:00:48] Christmas was always a big happy time

[00:00:52] We used to swap presents with aunts uncles and cousins

[00:00:56] Course most of the presents just came from the five and dime

[00:01:02] But I used to get such a big kick out of wrappin

[00:01:04] Just a simple little box

[00:01:07] And placin it under the tree

[00:01:11] Everybody used to laugh and said

[00:01:13] That I was born

[00:01:14] With a little too much of the spirit of Christmas in me

[00:01:21] I left home a few years ago now

[00:01:23] And it seemed then that things started to change

[00:01:29] Mom is gone now daddy's passed on

[00:01:33] Christmases seem sorta strange

[00:01:38] Sister ran off with some weird kinda guy

[00:01:41] I never did understand him too much

[00:01:45] My kid brother's off somewhere in the service

[00:01:48] And he never was the kind to stay in touch

[00:01:55] Course I started my own family

[00:01:56] A few years ago now

[00:01:58] My wife and I had two of the cutest little girls

[00:02:03] I remember last Christmas

[00:02:05] I really went wild

[00:02:06] I bought them just about everything

[00:02:08] In the whole wide world

[00:02:12] And I remember on the Christmas eve night

[00:02:13] I took 'em upon my lap

[00:02:15] And I told them the story of jesus

[00:02:17] And the santa claus and the eight tiny reindeer

[00:02:22] All I wish now is the spirit of Christmas

[00:02:25] Could have lingered throughout the whole year

[00:02:30] You see my wife left me back in September

[00:02:34] The kids are with her I don't know where

[00:02:39] I'd love to just send them Christmas card

[00:02:42] To let them know that daddy does care

[00:02:47] 'Cause Christmas is a time for sharing your gifts

[00:02:50] And your heart with the ones that you love the best

[00:02:55] But sitting here tonight

[00:02:56] Looking at this big sheet of paper

[00:02:59] I don't even have one single address

[00:03:04] My Christmas list grows shorter every year

[00:03:12] Oh what I'd give to just go back in time

[00:03:21] My Christmas list grows shorter every year

[00:03:30] The only name that's left this year

[00:03:36] Is mine
