The Plastic Trees - Snow Day

lyrics

Miss the snow days Christmas gave us
Running, waiting for the cold to bite my nose
Sledding down hills that felt endless
My friends and I would walk by the school just to see it empty

Miss the smell of the air before the holidays
Santa's waiting with things he knows I've been wanting
But now I'm grown, and I don't know Him anymore

And ah, hey Christmas ain't the same
Just another season in the year
to fight the same old pain
And ah, that tree was plastic anyway
I sure could use another Christmas snow day

When Grandma passed away one early
January morning
The way I view the world forever changed
And Christmas is a time to
forget about your burdens
But what about the ones for which
you don't get to have a say

And I am trying hard to find
what Christmas time can bring me now that I'm
Growing older and I'm harder now to please
than I was at thirteen
When all that I needed was
a present neath the tree

And ah, hey Christmas ain't the same
but it does no good to sit around
and lose ground to your pain
And ah, let's get that tree out anyway
I sure could use another Christmas snow day
I sure could use another Christmas snow day
