The Memory Of An Old Christmas Card
Recorded by Jim Reeves
Written by Vaughn Horton



Intro:

G        D7                         G
It’s the memory of an old Christmas card

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

  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 memory 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
