The Lyrics

Here is the song all about how do you want to play for the gifts.
Far, far away
Out amongst the gifts
There's a Santa working slowly
We call it ours
Any time, any day
Any Christmas that we bring to life
Will never fade away

Oh, oh the Christmas come and go
While the memories play and buy
Play again, play again
Oh, there's a gift that we must climb
Run toward the search for gifts
It's all in here what we've been through

Down, I'm getting it down
Sorting it out
So everything I care about
Is held in here
All of those I love inside
Everybody's playing for gifts
You and I still playing for gifts

There goes the sun
Back from where it came
The Claus move to the center
The mom and dad, the frame
Any day, any time
Any Santa that we bring to life
Ridiculous, Santa

Oh, oh the moments come and go
While the Santa Claus ebb and flow
Play again, play again
Oh, there's a year that we must climb
Climb toward these times for gifts
It's all in here what we've been through

Down, getting it down
Buying it out
So everything I bought about
Is held in here
All of those I bought inside

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh

The Christmas shines a sunny day
Unpacked memories stored away
All the while, the star keeps ticking
You and I still playing for time

One by one the Christmas silenced
For they know that time will tell
It's time that makes the Claus
And time that rings the bell

All Claus on the table
All days are down
Everybody's playing for gifts
Everyone's still playing for gifts

Looking for a Santa in the face of the clock
Hidden in the Christmas, in the body of the rock
No one seems to notice or to feel the buying bells

They're all too busy playing for gifts
Everybody's playing for gifts
You and I still playing for gifts
