My Christmas List Grows Shorter Every Year Lyrics - Bill Anderson

(Bill Anderson) 

My Christmas list grows shorter every year 

Things just aren't the way they were before 

My Christmas list grows shorter every year 

It's almost not like Christmas anymore. 

I guess it's 'cause I came from a pretty big family 

Christmas was always a big happy time 

We used to swap presents with aunts, uncles and cousins 

Course most of the presents just came from the five and dime. 

I remember how I used to get such a big kick out of wrappin' 

Just a simple little box and placin' it under the tree 

Everybody at my house used to laugh and said that I was born 

With a little too much of the spirit of Christmas in me.

I left home a few years ago, now 

And it seemed then that things started to change 

Mom passed on, now daddy's gone 

Christmases seem sorta strange. 

Sister ran off with some weird kinda guy 

I never did understand him too much 

My kid brother's off somewhere in the service 

And he never was the kind to stay in touch. 

Course I started my own family a few years ago 

My wife and I had two of the cutest little girls 

I, ha, ha, remember last Christmas I really went wild 

I bought them just about everything in the whole wide world. 

And I remember on the Christmas Eve night 

I took 'em upon my lap 

And I told them the story of Jesus 

And the Santa Claus and the eight tiny reindeer 

All I wish now is the spirit of Christmas 

Could have lingered throughout the whole year.

You see my wife left me back in September 

The kids are with her I don't know where 

I'd love to just send them a small Christmas card 

To let them know that daddy does care. 

'Cause Christmas is a time for sharing your gifts 

And your heart with the ones that you love the best 

But sittin' here tonight lookin' at this big sheet of paper 

I don't even have one single address. 

My Christmas list grows shorter every year 

Oh, what I'd give to just go back in time 

My Christmas list grows shorter every year 

The only name that's left this year is mine...
