Singing carols, stringing popcorn Making footprints in the snow Memories, Christmas memories They're the sweetest ones I know Cookies baking in the kitchen Cards and ribbons everywhere Frosty, Christmas memories Float like snowflakes in the air And, oh, the joy of waking Christmas mornings The family round the tree We had a way of making Christmas morning As merry as can be I close my eyes and see shiny faces Of all the children who now have children of their own Funny, but comes December And I remember every Christmas I've known

Old memories, they don't go away They show up on Christmas Eve And leave you wishing for childhood days The lights on the tree, gifts on display Yeah, it only gets stronger with age Old memories, they don't go away Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears Decorate the empty rooms And take you back to the joyful years Friends that you made, carols you sang, Make a symphony just for your ears Old holiday songs, they bring all the tears It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever lеt go Old photographs never fade away Thеy're just frozen there in time, Locked in pretty picture frames The hands that we held, the love that we gave, It's all black and white, that you can't change Old photographs never fade away It's like magic, I'm telling ya Makes you sentimental It brings out all the best in ya You ain't gon' ever let go Look at me lost in yesterday Ever since you've been gone, Feels like Christmas don't feel the same Snow doesn't fall, my heart's out of place and It only gets stronger with age Old memories of you and me, they don't go away
