Old Christmas Card - Recorded by Jim Reeves
(I don t know who wrote the song. I do it in the key of G
and in 4/4 time.)
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
Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every 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
(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
Repeat chorus
