My Christmas List Grows Shorter Every Year - Bill Anderson (比尔·安德森)[00:00:00]

Written by：Bill Anderson[00:00:02]

My Christmas list grows shorter every year[00:00:10]

Things just aren't the way they were before[00:00:19]

My Christmas list grows shorter every year[00:00:27]

It's almost not like Christmas anymore[00:00:35]

I guess it's 'cause I came from a pretty big family[00:00:45]

Christmas was always a big happy time[00:00:48]

We used to swap presents with aunts uncles and cousins[00:00:52]

Course most of the presents just came from the five and dime[00:00:56]

But I used to get such a big kick out of wrappin[00:01:02]

Just a simple little box[00:01:04]

And placin it under the tree[00:01:07]

Everybody used to laugh and said[00:01:11]

That I was born[00:01:13]

With a little too much of the spirit of Christmas in me[00:01:14]

I left home a few years ago now[00:01:21]

And it seemed then that things started to change[00:01:23]

Mom is gone now daddy's passed on[00:01:29]

Christmases seem sorta strange[00:01:33]

Sister ran off with some weird kinda guy[00:01:38]

I never did understand him too much[00:01:41]

My kid brother's off somewhere in the service[00:01:45]

And he never was the kind to stay in touch[00:01:48]

Course I started my own family[00:01:55]

A few years ago now[00:01:56]

My wife and I had two of the cutest little girls[00:01:58]

I remember last Christmas[00:02:03]

I really went wild[00:02:05]

I bought them just about everything[00:02:06]

In the whole wide world[00:02:08]

And I remember on the Christmas eve night[00:02:12]

I took 'em upon my lap[00:02:13]

And I told them the story of jesus[00:02:15]

And the santa claus and the eight tiny reindeer[00:02:17]

All I wish now is the spirit of Christmas[00:02:22]

Could have lingered throughout the whole year[00:02:25]

You see my wife left me back in September[00:02:30]

The kids are with her I don't know where[00:02:34]

I'd love to just send them Christmas card[00:02:39]

To let them know that daddy does care[00:02:42]

'Cause Christmas is a time for sharing your gifts[00:02:47]

And your heart with the ones that you love the best[00:02:50]

But sitting here tonight[00:02:55]

Looking at this big sheet of paper[00:02:56]

I don't even have one single address[00:02:59]

My Christmas list grows shorter every year[00:03:04]

Oh what I'd give to just go back in time[00:03:12]

My Christmas list grows shorter every year[00:03:21]

The only name that's left this year[00:03:30]

Is mine[00:03:36]
