There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
D7 G
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
G C G
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
D7 G
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
D7 G
I thrill with every word, every line
A D7
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
G C G
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
D7 G
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card
(Recitation)
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
