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.)
F F F There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk G7 F And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me F F F 'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn G7 F When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree
Chorus:
G7 F I thrill with every word, every line D7 G7 Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time F F F Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer G7 F 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
