Return to main lyrics page Memories of Hanukkah I remember growing up at Hanukkah time Long before the story was a Hanukkah rhyme The way the house looked, the smells from the kitchen The best holiday, no way I’d be missing My yamulke on, the menorah on the table Latkes on my plate and gelt near my dreidel Longing for presents, dinner went fast Candle lighting came, unwrapping in a flash The Lazer Tag game my friends all got We’d play it for hours and we’d play it a lot Those days of old seem so very far away Live as memories and in my mind will stay (CHORUS) 2X My memories of Hanukkah mean so much Of latkes, menorahs, and gelt, and such My memories of Hanukkah, My memories of Hanukkah College years at Hanukkah things did change I loved going home and I found it strange A home cooked meal and a break from the noise My needs weren’t the same and I didn’t want toys Jewish friends from school, few and far between Hillel wasn’t big and then just a dream My school never felt like Hanukkah time Home was the place for Maneschewitz grape wine Home was warm and always felt Jewish I loved Hanukkah, Mom and Dad always knew this We used to play dreidel and eat all the gelt Now my memories remind me of how I felt (CHORUS) 2X Post college time, life on my own I found a good wife and made a new home There’s no doubt about Hanukkah time The house feels warm as the candles shine The smells from the kitchen bring back memories Of latkes and stuff from times like these Traditions new, keeping true to the old With chocolate coins in foil of gold A silver menorah with candles a light Make Hanukkah special on every night I hope that my daughter can share the joy At Hanukkah time I had as a boy (CHORUS) 2X Hanukkah memories of candle glow Hanukkah memories don’t you know Hanukkah memories to help us grow Hanukkah memories of long ago Return to main lyrics page
