i look through your eyes and see innocence they stole from me christmas lights and candy canes santa tugging on reindeer s reigns the son of god and good will toward man through your eyes i believe i can chorus all the things i have out grown through your eyes again i m shown see things i lost the fight to believe through your eyes on christmas eve you ve given christmas back to me through the innocence of your eyes i see ghosts of christmas past and present past the families flaws unpleasant past the dark and scary night to laughter in the morning s light i fear when you are grown and gone and all alone i ll sing this song no toys or dolls or other things when grass grows under our backyard swings but if my child one day you bring your own small children then i will sing
