Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Give me an old fashioned Christmas
An old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces
Covered with snow
Right now my mom's there in the kitchen
Basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word
You can't find that at the auto mat
An old fashioned fireplace
Give me an old fashioned fireplace
My heart remembers smoldering embers
Warmly aglow
I'd trade that whole Manhattan skyline
The shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas
Back home
[Verse 2]
An old fashioned Christmas
Give me an old fashioned Christmas
Family faces, wide open spaces
Covered with snow
Right now my mom's there in the kitchen
Basting the Christmas bird
You'll have to take my word
You can't find that at the auto mat
An old fashioned fireplace
Give me an old fashioned fireplace
My heart remembers smoldering embers
Warmly aglow
I'd trade the whole Manhattan skyline
The shimmering steel and chrome
For one old fashioned Christmas
Back home
