Here they are let’s let them in Our ghosts of Christmas past The memories we’ve tucked away From times we thought would last The pillow case that’s on the bed With presents large and small From faces that we loved so well Let’s smile and greet them all We’ve tried so hard to stay awake We’ve wished away the night Until the time we open up The packages so bright Here’s Robin Hood, Lord Snooty And Dan Dare and Superman A plane to make, a game to play More socks from dear old Gran (There is a child inside me still I can’t let out to play He sleeps the whole year round And only wakes for Christmas Day) Let’s open up the gift box now Let’s eat the sweets inside The chocolate soldier, sugar mouse It’s so hard to decide But leave some room, the carving’s done The toast is peace on earth A silence then to realise What absent friends are worth So here they are at table now The ones we loved back then Our uncles, aunts, mom and dad Safe in the land of when.... When we were young and Christmas joys Would flash before our eyes So quickly gone, like all our days Like all our last goodbyes Year on year those times recede Now there’s just you and me The children are too far away To need our Christmas tree So draw the blinds, hold me close Help me put away These memories of long ago Until next Christmas Day
