Lyrics
Wrap up a Memory © 1999 Words and Music by Laura McCandliss
VERSE 1
The snow in Detroit is turning to sleet,
I hear the horns blowing from cars on the street.
Church bells ring, and everything, revolves around what Santa brings
What is it like on Christmas where you are?
I hear the weather's nice, in Kansas that is.
The snowfall is lighter, but do you ever miss,
This town where we met, or did you forget,
So what's it like on Christmas where you are?
CHORUS
I wonder what it's like on Christmas in Kansas.
Since you left here I haven't taken chances.
But if I have one wish I could put under your tree,
Wrap up a memory for me.
VERSE 2
Years have passed by, and families have grown,
I can't help but wonder if you have one of your own.
And do you ever think of me,
When you light your Christmas tree
And wonder what it's like where I am?
BRIDGE
Oh love with time and distance, shouldn't make a difference,
But still the years tear at my heart?
(Instrumental?.chorus and out.)
