Slow As Christmas

(Clint Black)

(Chorus:)
You re as slow as christmas, I was up before the dawn
Up so fast I missed it or was that old saying wrong
Every christmas day makes every other day seem long
And what seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone

I ve heard old sayings, old cliches and
Most of them make sense
But we re wiser in our younger days not easily convinced
There s no way to look ahead with the wool over your eyes
And it seems that santa s sled isn t the only thing that flies

(Chorus)

We re bringing in another year let s throw the old one back

With my new train I ll be the engineer
And hurry down the track
While I know that time is standing still
I hear that old cliche
And I m more convinced it does until that
One december day

(Chorus 2x)

When I m as slow as christmas
I ll be up before the dawn
I m gonna miss this
I know that old saying s wrong
Every christmas day makes other day seem long
And what seemed would never get here
Has so quickly come and gone,
Come and gone
