WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CHRISTMAS
(Jimmy Webb)
Frank Sinatra (with The Jimmy Joyce Singers) - 1964


Whatever happened to Christmas? It's gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,
Whatever happened to Christmas, to Christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?
Remember the sight and the smell and the sound,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it 
all?
Whatever happened to Christmas, bells in the streets were 
ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.
Whatever happened to this Christmas, and when did it 
disappeared from view,
Where was I, and whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to Christmas and you?
