An Old-Fashioned Christmas Songtext
von Richard Carpenter

How I miss that old-fashioned Christmas
Carols being sung by the tree
Windows candlelight shining bright
For the whole world to see

Children′s eyes of sweet expectations
Wondering what each present will hold
Lying in their beds and impatient
On long Christmas Eve's of old


It used to be that
All the family would gather for this one night
It used to be that
Special feeling shared together
Knowing Christmas was here one night a year

How I miss that old-fashioned Christmas
Memories that last through the years
Call me sentimental, don′t mind if you do
I send an old-fashioned Christmas to you
