I've been waiting all year long For this day to finally come [?] once All the gifts to open up Even if we don't get much And don't get all that we want We don't [?] we still got us Something special 'bout Christmas Something special 'bout Christmas, yeah Something special Gotta be a miracle, pray for snow Ain't no surprise the weather getting cold Winter wonderland Outside you gotta wear a coat Singing carols All the children playing in the snow Some of us don't got no plans, got nowhere to go Christmas just ain't what it was for me some years ago When Thanksgiving come around I know it's getting close Break the eggnog out because it's time to make a toast Remember when I was a kid When I would get tons of gifts I knew where they all were hid Memories that I won't forget I waited a whole damn year For some toys and some beer Losing you's my only fear Next time ho, you gon' be here I've been waiting all year long For this day to finally come [?] once All the gifts to open up Even if we don't get much And don't get all that we want We don't [?] we still got us Something special 'bout Christmas Something special 'bout Christmas, yeah Something special
