AN OLD FASHION CHRISTMAS

Jimmy Martin


I can see the holly in the window
Decorations on the tree
Stockings hung by the fireplace
Hung there with tenderness and glee
Soon old santa will be coming
There'll be lots of presents neath the tree
Back home at this old fashion Christmas
The whole family will make it complete

Yes this time of year is rather special to me
When the snow whitens the mountains
The valleys and the trees
Memories form a picture in my mind from days of old
Of an old fashion Christmas
And the family together back at home
I can see my sisters and my brothers, John & Roy
Everyone so happy and all so full of joy

Daddy and mother admire each one of us so dear
And the children are playing together
And all of them so full of cheer
Yes this memory of home in my heart
Is a memory that time will never take away
Because it lives all over again each year on Christmas day

So let me say to you,
If you are home or faraway
I hope you'll have an old fashion Christmas
And a Happy New Year's Day
Soon old santa will be coming
There'll be lots of presents neath the tree
Back home at this old fashion Christmas
The whole family will make it complete
