I'd wake up early, sun creeping through the blinds
Presents under the tree, chocolate milk and cake to find
Church in the morning, then the drive out to Nanna's place
Where the whole wide family gathered, smiles on every face
Roast turkey, duck fat spuds, pumpkin and honey carrots too
Pudding doused in brandy, silver coins hiding in the goo
Bonbons crack, paper crowns worn with silly pride
Uncle Kevin's jokes had us laughing till we cried
Backyard cricket, guava tree in gully, plum trees at midwicket
Little Mandy full tilt, bowling with a gritted little wicket
I wish we could go back, do it all again
Where laughter filled the house and love had no end
The magic of Christmas, the smell, the taste, the sound
I'd give anything to have that feeling all around
Now I'm a thousand miles away, Christmas comes and goes
Work drags me down and sleep's the only gift I know
Ma, Pa and Nanna gone, Dad's world feels far and strange
Ex-wife stole the children, turned the season into pain
Tried to share my table, invited strangers in
But the laughter felt hollow and the joy wore thin
Shoppers push and shove, lights flash in frantic ways
And the world forgets the meaning of Olden Christmas days
I wish we could go back, do it all again
Where laughter filled the house and love had no end
The magic of Christmas, the smell, the taste, the sound
I'd give anything to have that feeling all around
I see the world rush past, lights and noise collide
But in my heart that Christmas magic still survives
I close my eyes and there they are, the faces, the cheer
The songs, the smells, the joy I hold so dear
If the Lord is listenin, whisper a word or two
Guide me through this season, bring me back to you
I wish we could go back, do it all again
Where laughter filled the house and love had no end
The magic of Christmas, the smell, the taste, the sound
I'd give anything to have that feeling all around
Yes, I wish we could go back, do it all again
Where love and laughter lived forever, like back then
