Text: Carpenters. Christmas Portrait. An Old-fashioned Christmas.

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 you!
