From the recording Christmas Decorations
Lyrics
Every year around Christmas
My parents used to send us
Up to the attic
To find the decorations
We would pull down the ladder
My brother and my sisters
And bring out the boxes
From hibernation
I remember so fondly
The smiles on our faces
Unwrapping the newspaper
By the fireplace
Not knowing what we would find inside
We would sing
Silent Night
These memories have stayed with me
And I hope they never fade away
Like the Christmas Decorations
In the attic that get packed away
Now we’re all grown up
We live in different cities
Working our jobs
And raising our families
We pass down traditions
To our children
And through them we re-live our memories
But I wish we could go back
To those days before
We sat together on the living room floor
Early Christmas morning
We would hear our parents call
And we would sing Deck the Halls
These memories have stayed with me
And I hope they never fade away
Like Christmas Decorations
In the attic that get packed away
May these memories stay with you
I hope they never fade away
Like Christmas decoration
In the attic that get packed away
Every year around Christmas
My parents used to send us
Up to the attic to find the decorations
