about
Hi, Emmy here. I love this song so much. I started writing it when I was doing some object writing over the summer...found myself writing about my childhood Christmases. One of my high school best friends lost her mom this year and I'm very close to my mom...I was thinking about them when writing it.
lyrics
There’s something about John Denver
He’s getting me through December
It’s a Rocky Mountain Christmas here
Your favorite songs are in my ears
A calendar for counting
Cinnamon and icing
Coat the door with green and red
Out on the street we’re fitting in
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m on my knees, I wanna hug my mama
The time of year that cripples me oh and I wish I was stronger
Thought it would get easier
I’m older now and it still hurts
Another invitation
Cards with all their faces
Shopping for the perfect gifts
Hold the door and welcome friends
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m on my knees, I wanna hug my mama
The time of year that cripples me oh and I wish I was stronger
Thought it would get easier
I’m older now and it still hurts
You left behind what I hope to go on and show my daughter
Endless love and a whole lot of patience
Will make her stronger
I don’t want to waste a bit
I want her to remember it
He’s getting me through December
It’s a Rocky Mountain Christmas here
Your favorite songs are in my ears
A calendar for counting
Cinnamon and icing
Coat the door with green and red
Out on the street we’re fitting in
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m on my knees, I wanna hug my mama
The time of year that cripples me oh and I wish I was stronger
Thought it would get easier
I’m older now and it still hurts
Another invitation
Cards with all their faces
Shopping for the perfect gifts
Hold the door and welcome friends
It’s Christmas Eve and I’m on my knees, I wanna hug my mama
The time of year that cripples me oh and I wish I was stronger
Thought it would get easier
I’m older now and it still hurts
You left behind what I hope to go on and show my daughter
Endless love and a whole lot of patience
Will make her stronger
I don’t want to waste a bit
I want her to remember it
