(It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card)
There's an old Christmas card
in an old dusty trunk,
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me;
Tho' it's faded and worn
it's as precious as the morn,
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.
I thrill with ev'ry word, ev'ry line;
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time;
Pardon me if a tear
falls among my Christmas cheer,
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card.
(Spoken:)
You know, I don't know why I get to feeling
sentimental about this time, every year.
But every time I see a Christmas card,
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas that you and I spent together.
What a beautiful Christmas card
you gave me that year.
Why, I know you must have looked through thousands of cards
To find that wonderful poem
that still brings a tear to my eyes.
(Sung):
I thrill with ev'ry word, ev'ry line;
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time;
Pardon me if a tear
falls among my Christmas cheer,
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card. |
