And when I go to sleep at night I often have

this dream.
CHORUS:
G A7 D
Of an old fashioned Christmas with presents
A7 D
round the tree.
Bm E7 G A7
A fire softly burning and you up close to me.

With friends and family stopping by to help us

share the cheer.

For an old fashioned Christmas I'll be comin'

home this year.

should.
