Christmas Mem’ries

(The Rosemary Clooney version is best)

Singing carols, stringing popcorn
Making footprints in the snow

Memories, Christmas memories
They’re the sweetest ones I know

Cookies baking in the kitchen
Cards and ribbons everywhere
Frosty, Christmas memories
Float like snowflakes in the air

And, oh the joy of waking Christmas mornings
The family gathered ’round the tree
We had a way of making Christmas
As merry as can be

I close my eyes and see shining faces
Of all the children who now have children of their own

Funny, comes December
And I remember all the Christmas’ I’ve known

~Bergman and Costa
