CHRISTMAS IS FOR CHILDREN
(Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen)


Glen Campbell - 1968


Also recorded by: Jo Stafford




Christmas is for children
Just for children, grown-ups say


Santa's down the chimney
That's for children
Like the reindeer and the sleigh
That same tale is told ev'ry Christmas Eve again


We may think we're old
But our hearts can almost believe again

Christmas is for children
But aren't we all children Christmas Day


(Instrumental Break)


That electric train
That no one could tempt Poppa with
Will someone explain
Why it's all that Poppa will bother with


I guess Christmas is for children
But aren't we all children Christmas Day
