When I was but a youngster |
|
Christmas meant one thing, |
|
that I'd be getting lots of toys that day |
|
I learned a whole lot different |
|
when Mother sat me down |
|
and taught me to spell 'Christmas' this way: |
|
'C' is for the Christ child, born upon this day |
|
'H' for herald angels in the night |
|
'R' means our Redeemer |
|
'I' means Israel |
|
'S' is for the star that shone so bright |
|
'T' is for three wise men, they who travelled far |
|
'M' is for the manger where He lay |
|
'A' 's for all He stands for |
|
'S' means Shepard's came |
|
And that's why there's a Christmas day! |
|

|
And that's why there's a Christmas day! |
