Jim Reeves - "Old Christmas Card"

In the key of G. In 4/4 time.

G C G
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk
D7 G
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
G C G
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
D7 G
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree

Chorus:
D7 G
I thrill with every word, every line
A7 D7
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
G C G
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
D7 G
It's the mem'ry of an Old Christmas Card

(Recitation)

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

Repeat chorus
