The Magic Of Christmas – Madilyn Bailey

Thought it was the snow
The way that it falls
All is forgiven, it covers the tracks
The mud and the mistakes made in the past
Thought it was the cold
The world frozen over
And then again, it echoes for closure
A pretty girl’s excuse to pull loved ones closer

But I
I never know

There’s couples under the mistletoe kissing
The sound of carolers
In the streets singing
And all of it’s beautiful
But there’s something missing, it’s true
The magic of Christmas was you

I thought it was the night (night, night)
The anticipation (anticipation)
Patiently waiting for deer to take flight
Driving through the streets on a rainbow of light
I thought it was the sounds (sounds, sounds)
And it brought it all to light (light, light)
Harken the perils and angels on high
Silver sleigh bells in the silent light

But I
I never know

“All I want for Christmas” playing in the kitchen
Now the Santa wreath up
And Andy Williams
But all of the songs sound a little different, they do
‘Cause I’d always sing ’em with you

And when it’s my turn, I’ll tell the same for my children
It’s more than just presents I’m wrapping in ribbon
I’ll pass it down, it’ll become tradition, but new
The magic of Christmas that I learned from you
They’ll know the magic of Christmas too
