The christmas season here at last
I wish you peace and joy
Ill sing this song of times long gone
And pray you will enjoy
For the fondest memories I recall
Were on a christmas morn
When my dear father sang his songs
And christ the king was born

The songs he sang so loudly rang
Throughout our happy house
But when mother took her turn,
He sat as quietly as a mouse
The fondest memories I recall
Were on a christmas morn
How mother sang the sweetest songs
And christ the king was born.

I am my fathers son you know
And I sing on christmas day
I sing a song to days long gone
And those whove passed away
I have four children proud and strong
And they have children too
And on christmas morn they sing along
Just like we use to do
The fondest memories we shall have
Take place on christmas morn
My childrens children sing their songs
And christ the king is born.
