lyrics

you can call long distance, it's just not the same
all that old junk, next to those broken old games
stored with those failures, your old memories
tied with ribbons of forgive and forget

you bring it down, it's another year
you open the box, that ornament brings a tear
that one from baby brother, that one sis made for you
that one you hate but can't throw away

CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and the promises, that

we all had a pressie shaker she could tell
what you were going to get by just looking at you
lying in bed - we tossed all through the night
waiting oh waiting for the first ray of light

that bike you always wanted, your first chemistry set
the candy you ate and the toys you would get
the time that you lost, and the holidays missed
the joy you had - those days of bliss

CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and oh those .....

all of those years when there were fewer around
and all of those years when time did take its toll
oh the hungry years when the tree stood bare
the fruitful years - we had us a wishing chair

hey do you remember all those shining bells....
the trailer strung out with sparkling lights
you can call long distance, it don't feel the same
all that old junk and you were never to blame

CHORUS
the quiet disappointments, and all those thrills
the fights, slamming doors and the ringing bells
the love, frustrations, the peace and the hope
the time you lost and the years gone by
regrets and doubts, and the days you cried
the things you lost and the ones who gained
Christmas's you learned
and Christmas's of pain
the candles that burned
and the promises, that you made
