| Lyrics: | (S. Cahn, J. Van Heusen)
[Recorded June 16, 1964, Los Angeles]
Give me an old fashioned
Christmas, an old fashioned Christmas,
Family faces, wide open spaces, covered with
snow,
Right now my mom there in the kitchen, basting the Christmas bird,
You'll have to take
my word, you can't find that at the automat.
An old fashioned fireplace, give me an old
fashioned fireplace,
My heart remembers smoldering embers, warming your glow,
I'd trade that
whole Manhattan skyline, the shimmering steel and chrome,
For one old fashioned Christmas back
home. |
