An Old Christmas Card


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.) G C G 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 Chorus: D7 G I thrill with every word, every line A7 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 Repeat chorus
