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 
 
  D7                            G 
I thrill with every word, every line 
          A                             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
