THE JOY OF CHRISTMAS PAST Written and performed by DAVID FOSTER Verse 1: We are all together It's that special time of year We have found each other once again Verse 2: When the snow begins to chill And the days have a shorter light We can find the joy of Christmas past Chorus 1: A time for all the family A time to see just how much we've all changed It's a lovely time to renew… Friends passing by to greet us The glow of faces we all know so well It all goes by… so fast, We cherish all on Christmas past Verse 3: Kids in bed together Can't wait 'til the morning light Opening each present by the tree When it's time to leave them all And we're left with our memories We recall the joy of Christmas past Chorus 2: A time for all the family A time to see just how much we've all changed It's a lovely time to renew… And when I feel lonely And tears swell up in the corner of my eye I'll stop and think of all of you… I'll remember all our Christmas… past.
