“It’s Hard To Wait” is the 2020 holiday single by Cold Holiday.
Christmas Eve you start to dream
And when you’re young you sing the songs
But then you have to go to sleep
before you can get what you want
You can’t get yourself to bed
The break of day is still too late
To wake up and check under the tree
And it’s hard to wait
Days and weeks and months pass by
you get closer to your goals
Time goes fast but change comes slow
until you are fully grown
Someone else is running things
They are always in control, they
never miss a chance to say
“For now the answer’s no”
And it’s hard to wait
Someday all the waiting will be through
Someday disappointments end and maybe dreams come true
Everyone feels far away
The year shut down and doors were closed
When they’ll open, who can say
What feels right now, no one knows
Just like how we had to get
A “yes” but got “let’s wait and see”
Just like how we had to get
to sleep on Christmas Eve
And it’s hard to wait
Someday all the waiting will be through
Someday disappointments end and maybe dreams come true
Next year all the waiting will be through
Hope that disappointments end and hope that dreams come true
