In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth,
At just about this time each year,
When the snow softly falls and the merry bells ring,
To welcome the Christmas time cheer.
In a quaint little town by the side of the sea,
What happiness Christmas would bring;
Where friends rare as diamonds contented would be,
To dance and to laugh and to sing.
It was, come into my house so humble and small,
Let's drink a toast to us here;
To the twelve days of Christmas, we'll drink to them all,
With a wish for a Happy New Year.
Come sit in the parlor, now cozy and bright,
With the warmth from the old fashioned stove;
And its flickering flames and the kerosene light,
Make a warm Christmas feeling of love.
Now each year at Christmas I think of it still,
No matter wherever I be;
In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth,
To that snug little spot by the sea.
It was, come into my house so humble and small,
Let's drink a toast to us here;
To the twelve days of Christmas, we'll drink to them all,
And a wish for a Happy New Year.
It was, come into my house so humble and small,
And let's drink a toast to us here;
To the twelve days of Christmas, we'll drink to them all,
With a wish for a Happy New Year.
To the twelve days of Christmas, we'll drink to them all,
And a wish for a Happy New Year.
