Christmas Gone

 

Christmas has come

And Christmas has passed

And it seems to me this year

It did so quite fast.

 

For a friend I know

The count-down has restarted,

Christmas and she are so great

They cannot be parted.

 

I would not be surprised

If she is feeling a little down

For it is a once-a-year feeling

When it comes around.

 

Twelve days of Christmas

That’s what they say

But in Barbados it is just two

And it’s gone away.

 

 

Regular music is back

On most of the radio stations,

We’re going away from Christmas

That’s the realization.

 

It was nearing every day

Then rapidly came into sight

And then as quickly as it came

It was gone in the night.

 

Christmas has come

And Christmas has passed

And it seems to me this year

It did so quite fast.
