Can't Wait 'til Christmas Day

An Australian Christmas song​

​

Words & music by Darryl Chute

​

I remember when all the kids in our street

be running home from school in the rain

And when December came we would kick off our shoes

and we'd throw all our school books away

 

It was a time when we were counting down the days

And from our smiling faces you could hear us say - 

"Can't wait 'til Christmas day"

​

Can you remember when the band in the park

would be playing as they lit up the town

And on that special night you would hurry into bed

but you couldn't get to sleep if you 

​

Our world has turned since then but our children stay the same

And when you listen to them you still can hear them say

"Can't wait 'til Christmas

​

Times have changed, and we've grown,

and those days are little more than mem'ries

So give them hope, give them peace, give them love,

And those days will last forever

 

Our world has turned since then 

but our children stay the same

And when you listen to them you still can hear them say 

​

September, October, can't wait til Christmas

November, December, can't wait til Christmas

September, October, can't wait til Christmas

November, December, can't wait til Christmas day
