Wasting my days
Just having fun
All of a sudden, 31
Watching the world through a tiny view
Day by day, growing old with you
Love of my life, brings out the best in me
Love and miss all of my family
Missing my dog
Thankful for friends
Grateful for all this time I have to spend with you

Love of my life, I thank you
Family and friends, I thank you too
Yuki boy, all of the joy that came to be
Thank you for all the years you spent with me

Snow falls fast 
In the backyard
The lights are on
The car is parked

Bring out the tubs
The boxes, little silver balls
Locked in their tombs.. 
Ghosts of memories old and new

Pull them out
Turn them on
What’s your favorite one? 
That one’s mine-
Take him out
Let’s tell him what to chew

Macadamia 
Pistachio
Cashew

But be careful
Not to force them all
Not to break his little wooden jaw

Sit him up
Set him up
Up above the fireplace

Let him watch 
As we all
Enjoy the nights and days

Pudding, punch and 
A baby in 
the hay

But be careful 
Not to let him fall
Not to break his little wooden jaw

Wrap him up
Pack him up
And lock them all away

now that it's
all over they'll go back
from where they came

Back with the ghosts of
memories old 
and new

But be careful 
Not to fall apart
Not to break his little wooden heart

Little Wooden Heart

Coffee with Old Saint Nick


It’s been a long night
The snow’s coming down
I can’t get some sleep
Cause it’s too silent all around

And that’s when he slips on in…

Through the chimney he went
I hear a lil’ yawn
Only a few more hours
Until the crack of dawn

He says, "Sorry, but I need a pick me up
Can I bother you for just one cup?"

I’m havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick
Havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick

He tells me 
After this, I gotta run
Before the daylight comes

After his first cup,
And a little friendly chat,
Sooner than later
I hear those sleigh bells come back

A heavy sigh fills the room…

Santa’s at the table
Where my wife usually sits
On his second cup
He whispers, "This’ll do the trick"

And downs the coffee all in one
He says my work ‘round here won’t ever be done

I’m havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick
Havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick

I gave him a wave
As he took off on his sleigh
Reindeers dancing in the wind

I’m nodding off to sleep
But I feel a gentle tap
And hanging by the door
I see that red and white cap

Looks like he’s back again…

Tip-toeing through the kitchen
Saying, "I was hopin’ you were up
This year’s been tougher than ever
And, I, need a third cup"

Santa, please, help yourself
Does this make me your coffee elf?

I’m havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick
Havin’ a cup of joe with Ol’ Saint Nick

He thanks me again,
As he flies around the bend,
Soon I’m fallin’ fast asleep

Soft Christmas morning
My wife starts to call me
Says "Honey, take a look"
And I can’t believe what I see

A note says, “Thank you for the cups of joe,
That really got me through the night
You’re a great man, this year you’ve been just right”

I thought my eyes had played a trick
Of drinkin’ coffee with Old Saint Nick
