Jim Reeves - Old Christmas Card lyrics

rate me

(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

Though it's faded and worn it's as precious as the morn

When I found it neath our first Christmas tree

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

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 eye

I thrill with every word every line...
