IT ONLY SEEMS FIVE MINUTES SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS
Words & Music Graham & Bernadette Dixon (Trouble at’ Mill)
Am G Am Everybody knows that Christmas comes but once a year Em Am As we approach the twilight of our lives F G Am G We'll join in all the family fun and spread some yuletide cheer Am G Am But it only seems five minutes since last Christmas
F Tempus fugit so they say C Time goes faster every day F Don't want to wish my life away C G C 'It only seems five minutes since last Christmas
Tins of chocolates congregate on supermarket shelves Mince pies and Christmas puddings everywhere Santa's in his grotto he's surrounded by his elves But it only seems five minutes since last Christmas
Time again to get those Christmas decorations out Check the lights are working on the tree Go out and buy the turkey, don't forget those Brussels sprouts But it only seems five minutes since last Christmas
Roy Wood and Noddy Holder singing on the radio Ebenezer Scrooge is on TV Christmas lights a flashing nearly everywhere we go But it only seems five minutes since last Christmas
Hear those Christmas bells a ringing out throughout the land Carol singing choirs everywhere Feet tapping to the rhythm of the Sally Army Band But it only seems five minutes since last Christmas
Dashing through the snow upon a one horse open sleigh Turtle doves, French hens and leaping lords Then thoughts turn to a baby in a manger far away And a need to have our conscience clear for Christmas
See the downcast faces of the beggars on the street Have they really been there all year long? Thank your God, whoever he is, that you'll have food to eat And spare a thought for those in need this Christmas Yes spare a thought for those in need this Christmas It's a long time on the street until next Christmas
