There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree.

Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card.

Spoken:
You know, I don't know why
I get to feeling sentimental
About this time, every year
But every time I see a Christmas card
I somehow can't help reminiscing
About the very first Christmas
that you and I spent together
What a beautiful Christmas card
you gave me that year.
Why, I know you must have looked
through thousands of cards to find
that wonderful poem
that still brings a tear to my eyes.

Chorus:
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the mem'ry of an old Christmas card.

Just a mem'ry of an old Christmas card...
