Lyrics
One last
long night
getting this house ready for the morning
One last
Christmas
hearing little feet rush down those stairs
Gonna miss this house
probably always will
Get a picture of it framed for on the window sill
A reminder of how good it used to be
When we're living somewhere else
next Christmas
Wake up
Sunshine
Santa brought you everything you wanted
I know it's been a long year
Hard times
but, babe, this is amazing when they're young
Gonna miss this house
probably always will
Get a picture of it framed for on the window sill
A reminder of how good it used to be
When we're living somewhere else
next Christmas
They said the bones were good
so we spent every dime we could
to turn this little house into a home
Now when I look at you
I'll think about this living room
and every little smile and milestone
when we're living somewhere else
next Christmas
One last
long night
getting this house ready for the morning
