G5                        C5         G5 
There's an Old Christmas Card in an old dusty trunk 
       D5                                 G5 
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me 
          G5                       C5               G5 
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn 
        D5                                 G5 
When I found it 'neath our first Christmas tree 
 

  D5                            G5 
I thrill with every word, every line 
          A5                             D5 
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time 
       G5                    C5                G5 
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer 
         D5                         G5 
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
