CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER
(Dolly Parton)
Dolly Parton & Kenny Rogers - 1984


You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Strangers meet and willingly surrender 
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

Almost went to Aspen but something told me no
I considered Mammoth but there wasn't enough snow
And I even thought of Gatlinburg but that seemed so far to go
So I headed up to Tahoe for a Christmas on the slopes

And I had fantasized about Christmas in this way
Curled up by a fireplace in a Tahoe ski chalet
With a fast talking lover with some slow burning wood
But even in my wildest dreams it never got this good

And you've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Change the radio and I'll turn the lights down dimmer
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

Strangers when we met lovers as we leave
Christmas to remember too good to believe
Don't know how it went but I know we'll meet again
We'll come blowin' back to somewhere like some wild restless 
winter's wind

You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Neath the mistletoe you kissed me warm and tender
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

We loved and laughed and played and joked sang Christmas 
songs and talked to folks
Sleighed the fields and skied the slopes then to the lodge for 
dinner
But now it's time for us to go as our hearts melt like chimney 
snow
There's just one thing I want to know can we do this next 
winter
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though the fire is hot we'll just have to let it simmer
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember

You've made this a Christmas to remember
Springtime feelin's in the middle of December
Though it's cold outside we'll just stoke the burning embers
Oh oh what a Christmas to remember
