Old Memories On Christmas

Old memories They don't go away They show up on Christmas Eve And leave you wishing for childhood days The lights on a tree, gifts on display Yeah, it only gets stronger with age Old memories, they don't go away Old holiday songs (yeah) They bring all the tears Decorate the empty rooms And take you back to the joyful years Friends that you made (yeah), carols you sang (yeah) Like a symphony just for your ears Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears (uh-huh, uh-huh) It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental (that's right) It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever let go Old photographs Never fade away They're just frozen there in time Locked in pretty picture frames The hands that we held (yeah), the love we gave (yeah) It's all black and white, that you can't change Old photographs never fade away It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental (yeah) It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever let go Look at me lost in yesterday (I see you) Ever since you've been gone Feels like Christmas don't feel the same Snow doesn't fall (yeah), my heart's out of place (yeah) And it only gets stronger with age Old memories (uh-huh) of you and me They don't go away --- Old Memories On Christmas - Alicia Keys
