Christmas at Your New Place

I passed the turning twice, Mum Your new road isn't on my phone Dad came out in just his slippers Waving till I found your home I brought the blue jug full of holly You said, "I wondered where that went" We stood there laughing on the doorstep While the hall let out its warmth

It's Christmas at your new place I'm learning where things go The mugs are in a different cupboard But you still fill mine too full Mum and Dad, I like you here With a little less to do Let me find a chair beside you I've brought Christmas here to you

You show me where you'll plant the roses Dad has measured up the shed There's a smaller tree beside the window With a robin near the top I thought I'd miss the room I grew in And the stairs that used to creak Then you both began to tell me All your plans for spring next year

It's Christmas at your new place I'm learning where things go The mugs are in a different cupboard But you still fill mine too full Mum and Dad, I like you here With a little less to do Let me find a chair beside you I've brought Christmas here to you

You helped me pack for every move And waved me down the street Now I'm glad to see you choosing What you want and what you need Put the blue jug by the window I will learn the neighbours' names We've a whole new set of Christmases To make a start on here

It's Christmas at your new place I know where things go now Three mugs beside the little tree The holly leaning out Mum and Dad, I like you here And I hope you like it too Let me stay a little longer Spend this Christmas here with you

Let me stay a little longer Here with you
