There's an G Old Christmas Card in an C old dusty G trunk
And it D7 brings back sweet mem'ries dear to G me
'Tho it's G faded and worn, it's as C precious as the G morn
When I f D7 ound it 'neath our first Christmas G tree
Chorus:
I D7 thrill with every word, every G line
Guess I'm A7 always sentimental 'round this D7 time
Pardon G me if a tear falls am C ong my Christmas G cheer
It's the D7 mem'ry of an Old Christmas G 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
Jim Reeves
