Old Christmas Card - Recorded by Jim Reeves

(I don't know who wrote the song.  I do it in the key of G
and in 4/4 time.)

           G (320003@1)                      C (x32010@1)       GThere's (320003@1)an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk

(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


Repeat chorus
