The greatest Christmas present
|
Is something you canĄŻt buy
|
|
When World War 2 was over
|
We trimmed the tree alone,
|
But we saved the star for Daddy
|
Cause Daddy was coming home
|
|
We bought Momma a new dress
|
We bought Daddy a tie,
|
But he brought us each something
|
That money couldnĄŻt buy
|
The greatest christmas present
|
Is something you canĄŻt buy
|
|
IĄŻve talked to Pa this evening
|
For an hour on the phone
|
He said donĄŻt spend a lot on presents (now son donĄŻt you spend a lot on presents)
|
We just want you to come on home (you know all me and Momma want is you all to come on home)
|
|
But weĄŻll buy Momma a new dress
|
And Daddy another tie
|
And weĄŻll spend lots of time together
|
And thatĄŻs something you canĄŻt buy
|
The greatest Christmas present
|
Is something you canĄŻt buy
|
|
Some day I know itĄŻs coming
|
When all of us wonĄŻt be
|
Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but we wonĄŻt always be together for christmas)
|
You know DaddyĄŻs seventy-three (it seems hard to believe but your daddy will turn seventy-three)
|
|
And to pay back all he gave me
|
I canĄŻt but I will try
|
IĄŻll pass along to my kids
|
Something they canĄŻt buy
|
The greatest Christmas present
|
Is something you canĄŻt buy
