The Best Christmas

Now many many years ago And still my heart recalls The gifts beneath the Christmas tree That stood so very tall Papa sang the Christmas songs While Mama danced and smiled That was my best Christmas When I was just a child We built a snowman in the park We dressed him up so fine We were young and life was fun The world was yours and mine Beneath the mistletoe we kissed I whispered 'I love you' That was my best Christmas When you said you loved me too So let's sing 'Merry Christmas' And hang our Christmas star A very Merry Christmas The very best so far We woke up to a mountain of snow The windows locked in ice Miles from home, no telephone The earth lay frozen white The radio played Christmas songs The ash burned warm and true That was my best Christmas Snowed in all day with you The city wore its Christmas clothes Carols filled the air Girls and boys and shiny toys Shoppers filled the square Candy canes hung from a cradle And a stocking hung by the door That was my best Christmas The year our child was born So let's sing 'Merry Christmas' And hang our Christmas star A very Merry Christmas The very best so far Now many Christmas Days we've shared And once again we are Glad of those that still live close And missing friends afar So now we'll make our Christmas wish And pray that it is heard That everyone's best Christmas Be Peace upon the earth So let's sing 'Merry Christmas' And hang our Christmas star A very Merry Christmas The very best so... Sing 'Merry Christmas' And hang our Christmas star A very Merry Christmas The very best so far
