Don’t Look Too Close

Christmas Day '94
Money is short
Mom and Dad
They're trying not to let it show

Candy canes from the dollar store
Stockings half-full but the way they're arranged
It all seems magical
I didn't know
I didn't know

Don't look too close
Please say that you won't, darlin'
You'll see what I don't want you to
Don't look too close

Almost done fixing up your room
Everything's used, making do
We're trying to be new for you
Hundred dollars and a coat of paint
Trying to be a mother and another couple things I ain't
But Mama was
I didn't know
And you'll never know
Never know

Don't look too close
Please say that you won't, darlin'
You'll see what I don't want you to
Don't look too close

Prayed you'd never know
Now you do, so there you go
Guess that's just the way it goеs
Round it goes, round it goes

Prayed you'd nеver know
Now you do, so there you go
Guess that's just the way it goes
Round it goes, round it goes

Prayed you'd never know
Now you do, so there you go
Guess that's just the way it goes
Round it goes, round it goes

Well
Don't look too close
Don't look too close
