VERSE 1:

 I wish the star, was still a staple on the tree    

 And it shined a little light on that perfect manger scene

 I remember when - we could praise his name in song

 And even non-believers sang along

 Our December hearts are not where they belon 

CHORUS:

 I miss the Christmas I miss the Christmas I grew up on

 My only wish is not to miss - miss this Christmas I grew up on

 The good old days of good will towards all men

 I know we can bring ‘em back again

 They can’t be gone, right or wrong

 I miss the Christmas I grew up on 

VERSE 2:

 I wish we still slept, in heavenly peace  

 And brothers of all colors found their way to harmony 

 The gratefulness of giving trumped the greed

 And even old Kris Kringle bowed down to the King of Kings

CHORUS:

 I miss the Christmas I miss the Christmas I grew up on (The Christmas I grew

up on)

 My only wish is not to miss - miss this Christmas I grew up on

 The good old days of good will towards all men

 I know we can bring ‘em back again

 They can’t be gone, right or wrong

 I miss the Christmas I grew up on 

BRIDGE::

 The little Lord Jesus brought joy to the world.

 Go tell it on the mountain to ever boy and girl

 Hark the herald angels on this silent, holy night

 O come all ye faithful - won’t you sing with me tonight

 Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

CHORUS:

 I miss the Christmas I miss the Christmas I grew up on (The Christmas I grew

up on)

 My only wish is not to miss - miss this Christmas I grew up on

 The good old days of good will towards all men

 I know we can bring ‘em back again

 They can’t be gone, right or wrong

 I miss the Christmas I grew up on
