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 FOld Christmas Card in an Fold dusty Ftrunk
And it G7brings back sweet mem'ries dear to Fme
'Tho it's Ffaded and worn, it's as Fprecious as the Fmorn
When I fG7ound it 'neath our first Christmas Ftree
Chorus:
I G7thrill with every word, every Fline
Guess I'm D7always sentimental 'round this G7time
Pardon Fme if a tear falls amFong my Christmas Fcheer
It's the G7mem'ry of an Old Christmas FCard
(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
