Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an old Christmas card.
You know, I don't know why
I get to feeling sentimental
About this time, every year.
But every time I see a Christmas card,
I somehow can't help reminiscing.
About the very first Christmas
that you and I spent together.
What a beautiful Christmas card
you gave me that year.
Why, I know you must have looked
through thousands of cards to find
that wonderful poem
that still brings a tear to my eyes.
I thrill with every word, every line
Guess I'm always sentimental 'round this time
Pardon me if a tear falls among my Christmas cheer
It's the memory of an old Christmas card.
Song was sung by Jim Reeves
