Christmas Memories

Christmas Memories - John McDermott

The Christmas seasons here at last

I wish you

Peace and a joy

I'll sing this song of times long gone

And pray you will enjoy

For the fondest memories I recall

Were on a Christmas morn'

When my dear father sang his songs

And Christ the king was born

The songs he sang so loudly rang

Throughout our happy house

But when mother took

Her turn

He sat as quietly as a mouse

The fondest memories I recall

Were on a Christmas morn'

How mother sang

The sweetest songs

And Christ the king was born

I am my father's son you know

And I sing on Christmas day

I sing a song

To days long gone

And those who've passed away

I have four children proud and strong

And they have children too

And on Christmas morn' they sing along

Just like we use to do

The fondest memories

We shall have

Take place on Christmas morn'

My children's children sing their songs

And Christ the king is born
