"Old Time Christmas" lyrics

Old Time Christmas

Tricycles
Bicycles
Candy canes
And candlelight
Trying to stay awake all night
To catch a glimpse
Of Santa's reindeer

Mama baking
Sister making
Angels in the falling snow
Now it seems so long ago
I wish they all were here

We'd have an old time Christmas
An old time Christmas
Just like the ones from yesterday
We'd leave the world behind us
Let the spirit find us
And have an old time Christmas
For old time's sake

Friends singing
Bells ringing
Snowman standing in the yard
It's a living Christmas card
Captured in our hearts forever

Friends scatter
It won't matter
The magic never melts away
It only takes a Christmas day
To make it reappear

So have an old time Christmas
An old time Christmas
Just like the ones from yesterday
We'd leave the world behind us
Let the spirit find us
And have an old time Christmas
For old time's sake

So leave the world behind you
Let the spirit find you
And have an old time Christmas
For old time's sake
