Many Years Ago

Many years ago,
I use to wake and say
Lets get up early in the morning,
On a chilly Christmas day

Now the years have faded,
Older I became
Yet somehow in this cycle,
Year after year is the same

Running round in circles,
Shopping throughout town
Hurrying to drop off,
Gifts all around

Then it really happens,
Christmas is finally here
But oh dear God I'd forgotten,
It will return next year...
