Don't Let Christmas Pass You By Songtext
von Don Amero

We′re gathered 'round the tree
Dad′s dressed in red
It wasn't fooling me
That fake beard he had
I knew he wasn't Santa
But he sure could play the part
He′d make us take our time
Each gift we had
One by one would drive me mad
As I look back now
Those memories are gold
I wanna go back to those days
Stop time, replay just one more night
Won′t let Christmas pass me by
Many years have passed
We still gather 'round
And he′s still Santa
With a real beard
Grandchildren on his knee
He still can play the part


These kids can be crazy
They always want to play
I swear he don't mind
He′s in his favorite place
If home is where the heart is
His family is home
I wanna go back to those days
Stop time, replay just one more night
Won't let Christmas pass me by
Oh the call came in the spring
Said he was gone
My heart sank
I put a brave face on
I knew this day was coming
Nothing could prepare
Last Christmas was the last one
With my father there
I wanna go back to those days
Stop time, replay just one more night
Oh just one more day
Can′t go back to those days
Can't stop, replay
Oh take the time
Don't let Christmas pass you by
No, don′t let it pass you by
