[Verse]
C G7
Well don't it make you wanna be a kid again
C
Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases that we had back then
F
We all came together full of love and joy
D7 G7
And that was more important than a brand new toy
C G7
Just remembering the happiness we had back then
C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
I remember running down the wooden stairs
C
The sweet smell of momma's cooking everywhere
F
Before long all the family was there
D7 G7
The sound of our laughter soon filled the air
C G7
We all bundled up for the cold outside
C
And sang Christmas carols on the big sleigh ride
[Verse]
F
Just thingin' 'bout the times we had back then
G7 C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
I was always the angel in our Christmas play
C
They tried to pin my halo but it never stayed
F
Momma said I was the best anyway
D7 G7
She always seemed to know the right things to say
C G7
There was always magic around the Christmas tree
C
And always something special just for me
F
If the times were hard we never knew it then
G7 C
Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
Yes don't it make you wanna be a kid again
C
Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases we had back then

We all came together full of love and joy
D7 G7
And that was more important than a brand new toy
C G7
Just remembering the happiness we had back then

Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
G7
Yes don't it make you wanna be a kid again

Thinkin' 'bout the Christmases we had back then

F
We were full of innocence and believed in Santa Clause
D7 G7
We were happy just to be alive because

We all came together full of love and joy

And that was more important than a brand new toy

Remembering the happiness we had back then

Don't it make you wanna be a kid again
