An Old Fashioned Christmas

Frank Sinatra

Compositor: James Van Heusen / Sammy Cahn

Give me an old fashioned Christmas, an old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces, covered with snow
Right now my mom there in the kitchen, basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word, you can't find that at the automat
An old fashioned fireplace, give me an old fashioned fireplace
My heart remembers smoldering embers, warming your glow
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline, the shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas back home

Give me an old fashioned Christmas, an old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces, covered with snow
Right now my mom there in the kitchen, basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word, you can't find that at the automat
An old fashioned fireplace, give me an old fashioned fireplace
My heart remembers smoldering embers, warming your glow
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline, the shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas back home
