An Old-Fashioned Christmas lyrics

How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!

Carols being sung by the tree

Window's candlelight shining bright

For the whole world to see.

Children's eyes of sweet expectations

Wondering what each present will hold

Lying in their beds and impatient

On long Christmas eves of old.

It used to be that

All the family would gather for this one night

It used to be that

Special feeling shared together

Knowing Christmas was here one night a year.

How I miss that old fashioned Christmas!

Memories that last through the years

Call me sentimental, don't mind if you do

I wish an old fashioned Christmas to you!
