The Kid In Me

Though it's barely December, I can already see

Snow on the sidewalks and lights on the tree

There's somethin' 'bout Christmas that leads me to believe

A child's still livin' in me, yeah

I still remember what used to be delight

Dreamin' of reindeer on Christmas Eve night

One eye half open, the other asleep

It's funny what I chose to believe

It happens each time Decembеr draws near

A child is reborn this time of yеar when I

I start wrappin' the presents and hangin' the lights

I start makin' a list and checkin' it twice

Start hangin' the holly and the mistletoe

And off I go

Back to what I used to be

It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me

Sneakin' into the kitchen past the fireplace light

Eatin' holiday cookies in the middle of the night

I stare out the window to see all the lights

See the stars are shinin' bright tonight

When the family's together swappin' stories of old

Don't they seem to get better they are told?

And like all the others, I fight to resist

Aunt Helen's yearly holiday kiss[Chorus]

No matter how old you are

No matter how long it's been

You're never too far away

From the child who lives within

Start wrappin' the presents and hangin' the lights

Start makin' a list and checkin' it twice

Start hangin' the holly and the mistletoe

And off I go

Back to what I used to be

It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, oh yeah

It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, yeah

It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, oh, yeah

It's funny how Christmas brings out the kid in me, yeah, yeah

It's funny how Christmas, it brings out the kid in you and me, yeah, yeah
