This year has gone by so fast With a blink of an eye decembers come and past I always took it for granted All those times we sat around while the snow fell down They were the best nights around I just miss the holidays I just miss the holidays back home Every night I lie awake thinking of all those times We'd stay out late waiting for something to take us up from off our feet But now that I'm so far away my only wish Is to spend one more day back at home where I belong On the frozen streets and snow fort lawns I won't forget you I won't forget my home The suburbs of chicago shine so bright this time of year
