Lyrics

CHORUS:
Every time I wear this ugly sweater
Tears and laughter always take me right back home
Flood of memories washes over me 
And the good times just get better
every time I wear this ugly sweater

V1
Sixteen year old Christmas
Living out my teenage distance
I opened up that box on Christmas Day 
I thought I would hate it
Even though my grandma made it 
How was I to know what was to be

Red and blue and green 
With a dancin’ snowman scene 
I never thought would mean so much


V2
Now I can’t remember
Any late December
When I haven’t worn it once or twice
It’s kinda thin & threadbare
There’s a cherry pie stain right there
But after all these years it just feels right
?Even though my gramma’s gone
The love that she had sown
Seems to carry on somehow

Bridge
I can feel a little Christmas time
Down in this heart of mine…
When the world is cold outside
It keeps me warm…
