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
