Old Time Christmas Lyrics - George Strait

(Aaron Barker/John Jarvis) 

Tricycles, bicycles 

Candy canes and candlelight 

Tryin' to stay awake all night 

To catch a glimpse of Santa's reindeer 

Mama bakin', sister makin' 

Angels in the fallin' snow 

Now it seems so long ago 

I wish they all were here. 

We'd have an old time Christmas 

An old time Christmas 

Just like the ones from yesterday 

We'd leave the world behind us 

Let the spirit find us 

And have an old time Christmas 

For old times sake.

Friends singin', bells ringin' 

Snowman standing in the yard 

It's a living Christmas card 

Captured in our hearts forever 

Friends scatter, it won't matter 

The magic never melts away 

It only takes a Christmas Day 

To make it reappear. 

We'd have an old time Christmas 

An old time Christmas 

Just like the ones from yesterday 

We'd leave the world behind us 

Let the spirit find us 

And have an old time Christmas 

For old times sake.

So leave the world behind you 

Let the spirit find you 

And have an old time Christmas 

For old times sake.
