An Old Fashioned Tree

[Verse 1] How I miss that old fashioned Christmas! Carols being sung by the tree Window's 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 eves 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 wish an old fashioned Christmas to : at the end of a song They tell me Somewhere this life isn't crazy But I've travelled the world far and wide And I say they're wrong Don't sell me Stories that music's a lady It's not when the singer's alone At the end of a song [Chorus] At the end of a song There's no one After the last note is played Only the memory stays Then even that fades away And there's nothing so hard As convincing your heart That you should start singing again [Verse 2] You told me Nothing could change perfect lovers But like every promise you made It broke before long It's lonely Falling away from each other But we've come to the last of your words And the end of a song [Chorus]
