Because not everyones holiday plays out like a Hallmark movie, full of happiness, love, and good cheer. Sometimes, the real world is a bit sad
You were twirling your red hair when I called you honey
Laughing out loud, I guess you thought that was funny
Then you held out your hand and asked me for money
Thats when I knew it was love
The night's growing colder I think I saw snow
Another year gone by where the helld the time go?
Nobody noticed, maybe nobody knows
Somebody is crying alone
Those Holiday Moments that we see on TV
She aint like you and he damn sure dont look much like me
Holiday Moments. They fill us with cheer.
But here in the real world, I just wish you were here
Friends they got distant and the kids are all grown
Family got older and then they were gone
Silent at night at the place I call home
Mostly just missin my ma
Those Holiday Moments that we see on TV
She aint like you and he damn sure dont look much like me
Holiday Moments. They fill us with cheer
But here in the real world, I just wish you were here
You smokin Marlboros while I stack the presents
The kids looked like royals and ours looked like peasants
Im shaking yours and youre guessing at mine
I wish I had known this would be the last time
For Holiday Moments that we see on TV
She aint like you and he damn sure dont look much like me
Holiday Moments. They fill us with cheer
But here in the real world, I just wish you were here
Those Holiday Moments that we see on TV
She aint like you and he damn sure dont look much like me
Those Holiday Moments. Go by us so fast
Were here for a moment and we all know that moments dont last
Were here for a moment and we all know that moments dont last
