Reid Jamieson - Sentimental Song

You know it's not my time of year
Too many heartaches and far too many tears
Miles apart from the family I hold dear
I find it hard to play along

While I watch the fire glow
Some go hungry, while others play with gold
Away in a manger the night is growing cold
I find it hard to sing along

It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again

In candy canes and mistletoe
White lights and wishes tied up with a bow
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again

You know it's just that time of year
Memories play while I try to raise a cheer
They hang on the tree just like silent souvenirs
I find them hard to string along

Sometimes I'd rather be alone
I've got my reasons; I just thought
that you should know
The saddest of seasons since we
watched my mother go
I find it hard to sing along

It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again

In angels dancing in the snow
Sleigh bells and reindeer prancing in a row
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again

It's just a simple melody
Pulls at my heartstrings,
and sets my spirit free
I remember the words,
how she sang them to me
And so I'll try to sing along

It's just this sentimental song
I haven't heard it in so long
But when they put that record on
I can believe again

In candy canes and mistletoe
White lights and wishes tied up with a bow
Each time they turn that music low
I can believe again

You know it's not my time of year…
