Sometimes I go to a place
I have been
And remember the sweet joy
Of yesteryear
That is when
Forgotten melodies arise
Dreaming of a Christmas so long, long ago
And log fires a-crackling
And snowflakes a-dancing
And church bells a-ring-ring-ring-ringing
And carollers singing
Little children with eyes brimming
Fill precious dreams of love and giving
Of a Christmas so long, long ago
Dreaming of a Christmas so long, long ago
I bring these December memories
Those distant sweet memories
To each and every Christmas Day
‘Cause each year’s sweet memories
Will always become
The Christmas dreams of so long, long ago
