REMEMBER CHRISTMAS IN YORBA LINDA

             It was winter, the trees lost their leaves, nights got colder,
             I remember one year when it really got cold and windy.
            There actually was snow, enough to throw snowballs,
             The temperature dropped, the yards were white, remember?
             Yards were decorated with bright, colorful lights, beautiful 
             At night,
              I'm not sure if I or anyone of my age appreciated those 
             Times enough.
             We couldn't wait for Christmas vacation, sleeping in on 
             Cold Saturday mornings,
             Going to the mall to shop for gifts for family or maybe that
             Special someone.
             I think we were given the greatest gift back then, the gift
             Of Yorba Linda,
             If you lived there and loved it then you'll remember there
             Was nothing like it.
             You're supposed to leave the past in the past but
              I remember Christmas in Yorba Linda,
             I want to go back there, stand in the street, walk the 
             Sidewalks where friends walked with me.
             Remember Christmas in Yorba Linda, when you awoke
             In the morning, your family was there,
             It means more today as for some of us, for some of us
             It will never be the same,
             I remember a town.

             M,erry Christmas to everyone who ever lived in Yorba
             Linda,
             Remember Christmas in Yorba Linda.
