Lyrics

The Little Child in Me
By Jack Franklin Wise

Verse:
Who's the sad girl in the mirror?
What happened to the yuletide cheer?
How did I get this look of anxiety?
My merriment is running low,
This isn't the me I know.
But maybe I'll lose the Scrooge frame of mind,
If I can find
The little child in me.

Verse:
Sipping warm cocoa from a Santa mug
To chase away the bah-humbug,
With Snoopy and Charlie Brown on TV.
Pretty soon, I'll get my head on straight,
The season's magic cannot wait.
With sleigh bells and candy canes and some luck,
It's sure to wake up
The little child in me.

Bridge:
I have my fair share of stresses
From life's grown-up messes,
But deep in my heart there still lives
A kid with freckles and pig tails
And a smile ear to ear
Because it's Christmas-
That's the carefree little girl that I miss.

Verse:
To embrace the innocence of youth,
I just might find a grain of truth
Somewhere between my dreams & reality.
So who's that youngster in the mirror?
Christmas comes but once a year.
There's no better time than now to be true,
And pay attention to
The little child in me.
