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