There’s an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem’ries 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 mem’ry 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 eye
I thrill with every word every line…
My parents loved Jim Reeves too. My dad taught me to waltz with a Jim Reeves record. I play a song and close my eyes and say ‘Ready Dad, let’s waltz and we dance around the kitchen together. I’m positive he’s with me ❤️
Every time i hear this song i cry. Brings back memories of my family around Christmas time growing up. I love Jim Reeves Christmas music, it is simply the best.
I Still have the first Christmas card my husband gave to me, 45 years ago, Sadly he passed away in my arms 4 and a half years ago. I miss him more then words can express, but I do love this song... tears every time.
Everyone who is listening to these beautiful old christmas songs, have a safe and wonderful christmas 2019. Enjoy your family and friends and dont forget whose birthday we are actually celebrating.
