Lyrics
I went home for christmas To the house that I grew up in Going back was something after all these years I drove down monterey street And felt a little sadness When I turned left on laurel and the house appeared And I snuck up to that rocking chair Where the winter sunlight slanted on the screened-in porch And I stared out past the shade tree That my laughing daddy planted on the day that I was born
Chorus And I let time go by so slow And I made every moment last And I thought about years How they take so long And they go so fast
Across the street the randol's oldest daughter must have come home Her two boys built a snowman by the backyard swings I thought of old man randol And his christmas decorations And how he used to leave them up 'til early spring And I thought of all the summers That I paced that porch and swore I'd die of boredom there And I thought of what I'd give to feel another summer linger Where a day feels like a year
Chorus
Then the door flew open, and my mother's voice was laughing As she called back to my daddy, "come and look who's here!" And I thought about years
