christmas magic Lyrics

I still remember the sounds of the laughter

The presents and goodies under the tree

A red comfy sweater, a secret gift giver

Twinkling lights and we'd sing 'holy night'

And it's not the way that it used to be, not for me

The magic is different these days

It looks like online shopping in late November

Going to Target after Thanksgiving dinner

Looks like matching pjs, buying a candle

Now that I'm older, is Christmas still wonderful

I stayed up late looking out from my window

Making a prayer, thanking God for his son

Now I keep missing the point of the season

Sometimes I forget that 'Oh Holy Night'

And it's not the way that it used to be, not for me

The magic is different these days

It looks like online shopping in late November

Going to Target after Thanksgiving dinner

Looks like matching pjs, buying a candle

Now that I'm older, is Christmas still wonderful

Looks like bedtimes stories about baby Jesus

Late night rehearsals for Christmas service

Looks like gifts for others, hopes for a new year

Now that I'm older, Christmas is still wonderful

Even though it's not like it used to be, not for me

As long as there's Jesus there's magic
