There's something about John Denver He's getting me through December It's a Rocky Mountain Christmas here Your favorite songs are in my ears A calendar for counting Cinnamon and icing Coat the door with green and red Out on the street we're fitting in It's Christmas Eve and I'm on my knees I wanna hug my mama The time of year that cripples me And I wish I was stronger Thought it would get easier I'm older now and it still hurts Another invitation Cards with all their faces Shopping for the perfect gifts Hold the door and welcome friends It's Christmas Eve and I'm on my knees I wanna hug my mama The time of year that cripples me Oh and I wish I was stronger Thought it would get easier I'm older now and it still hurts You left behind what I hope to go on And show my daughter Endless love and a whole lot of patience Will make her stronger I don't want to waste a bit I want her to remember it
