Last night, I was thinking 'bout the
Good times, cause I was hoping
I could try to get them back
And
One thing that stood out to me a
Wonderful memory
Sat by the Christmas tree in December
Early morning and we took our pillowcases
Which were our stockings and we'd check each other's faces
Open presents, laugh then trade places
On mums bed, have funny conversations
So I've been waiting for this moment all year
Cause I'm
Not one for golden presents
You can keep your snakeskin leathers
Those things don't make life better
I want handmade and hand-me-downs
Get your friends and family around cause
Once a year we're all in town, bring the
Special things you've made and found
I want your handmade and hand-me-downs
I don't need a golden chain
I don't need a diamond ring
I don't need that shiny stuff
Cause friend your time is enough
So pull up a chair at my mother's table
We'll fill up and laugh as much as we are able (Ho, Ho, Ho)
Early morning walks, slipping on the frost, don't come with a cost, enjoy getting lost, just the cold and us.
Kick off the snow when we get back home
Play so many games that we'll be tired to the bone
Look I love the Christmas lights and I love the Christmas cheer
I love the early nights we'd have to make the day come near
But none of it means anything if I don't have my family here
And I hope the things they gave me never disappear
So I've been waiting for this moment all year
Cause I'm
Not one for golden presents
you can keep your snakeskin leathers
those things don't make life better
I want, handmade and hand-me-downs
Get your friends and family around cause
Once a year we're all in town, bring the
Special things you've made and found
I want your handmade and hand-me-downs
Hand-me-downs
Every year see I was handed down
A shoe, a sock, a pair of heelies I could skate around
Memories made on the old school playground
Only with age can you really see the turnaround
For my momma
You know I want no drama
I'm reminiscing memories of times when I was younger
Eating up the pastries away till I would slumber
Never had no currency or paper it's whatever
See
It's the love that you bring
To the house that you live
Don't worry about the bling
Focus on the right thing
See your heart let it sing
See these hands let them bring
Something your willing to give
It's the love that we cling
Not one for golden presents
You can keep your snakeskin leathers (the love that we cling)
Those things don't make life better
I want handmade and hand-me-downs
Get your friends and family around cause
Once a year we're all in town, bring the
Special things you've made and found
I want your handmade and hand-me-downs
Not one for golden presents
You can keep your snakeskin leathers
Those things don't make life better
I want handmade and hand-me-downs
Get your friends and family around cause
Once a year we're all in town, bring the
Special things you've made and found
I want your handmade and hand-me-downs
