AN OLD FASHIONED CHRISTMAS
(John Rimel)

The Statler Brothers - 1985


These city streets seem cold and hard to me
Life here in the fast lane ain't my cup of tea
I can't get in the spirit here it seems
And when I go to sleep at night I often have this dream

Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

The city lights are fading out of sight
The snow is softly falling through the winter night
Coming home again feels so good
And once again Christmas feels just like it should

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas with presents round the tree
A fire softly burning and you up close to me
With friends stopping by to help us share the cheer
For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be coming home this year

Let's have an old fashioned Christmas
I'll be coming home this year
