Momma said she wished she had a camera
When daddy watched me unwrap my first guitar
Christmas tree and a sea of shredded paper
Where my brother raced his brand new hot wheel cars

Those were the days we all came together
They went quicker than the twinkling of an eye
That’s the year I thought I saw a daddy tear
But he was always taught he shouldn’t cry

CHORUS:
Christmas remembers all the love wrapped
with the pain
For all the ones who couldn’t be there
Sometimes it’s hard to even say their names
But Christmas remembers

I miss the finger prints on the window
Where my kids hoped to see old Rudolph fly
Twenty years will melt you like a snowflake
When they grow up, pack the car and
wave goodbye

For a time we all came together
It went quicker than the twinkling of an eye
I would love to hug my daddy Merry Christmas
I’m pretty sure that both of us would cry

CHORUS:
Christmas remembers all the love wrapped
with the pain
For all the ones who couldn’t be here
Sometimes it hard to even say their names
But Christmas remembers

BRIDGE:
After the manger scene’s been packed away
And quietness surrounds you and families flown
away

CHORUS:
Christmas remembers all the love wrapped with the pain
Sometimes it’s hard to even say their names
But just the same, Christmas remembers
Christmas remembers
