AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
(Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen)

Frank Sinatra - 1960


Give me an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces
Covered with snow

Right now my Mom there in the kitchen
Basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word
You can't find that at the automat

An old fashioned fireplace
Give me an old fashioned fireplace,
My heart remembers smouldering embers
Warming your glow

I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline
The shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas
Back home
