An Old-Fashioned Tree

Johnny Cash

6

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!@song: at the end of a song

They tell me

Somewhere this life isn't crazy

But I've traveled the world far and wide

And I say they're wrong

Don't sell me

Stories that music's a lady

It's not when the singer's alone

At the end of a song

(*) at the end of a song

There's no one

After the last note is played

Only the memory stays

Then even that fades away

And there's nothing so hard

As convincing your heart

That you should start singing again

You told me

Nothing could change perfect lovers

But like ev'ry promise you made

It broke before long

It's lonely

Falling away from each other

But we've come to the last of your words

And the end of a song

Repeat (*)
