You might find some crumbs on the table.
There's sure to be toys on the floor.
There's holes in most of the stockings
And the Christmas wreath fell of the door.
The house ain't a picture of beauty,
The white glove ain't coming up clean.
It's an imperfect holiday season,
And that's just the things you can see.
There's pain that I wish I could keep from you
There's loneliness, heartache, and sorrow too.
You need to know that I'll never leave you,
And I'm feeling everything too.
Let's string up some popcorn and berries
Bring me the glue gun we'll fix the wise men.
Turn on John D and the Muppets,
I've got to smile again.
We'll clean up the house with the eight track on
Decking the halls to the timeless songs
Far away from the nagging doubt,
We'll forget all our worries for now.
It's not what I wanted to give you
This heartache unwrapped in your hands.
I'd trade it in for a store full of joys
If I could, you understand.
We're turning out okay,
We'll keep the wolves at bay.
The darkness of our former days
Will fade and pass away.
We're turning out okay,
And we'll always have today.
The darkness of our former days
Will fade and pass away.
