Reeves, Jim - An Old Christmas Card Lyrics
(It's a memory of an old Christmas card)
There's an old Christmas card in an old dusty trunk
And it brings back sweet mem'ries dear to me
'Tho it's faded and worn, it's as precious as the morn
[Chorus:]
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 mem'ry of an old Christmas card.
[Spoken:]
You know, I don't know why
I get to feeling sentimental
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.
[Chorus:]
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 mem'ry of an old Christmas card...

It's really wonderful to get a beautiful Christmas Card.
Wow. there will never be a 2nd Jim Reeves. I am longing for my late Mom & Dad on this Xmas day.
JIM "The Gentleman" has a been my all time favourite, I been hearing his songs for about 45 years now. And Christmas is the season i wait to hear him more and more, he brings in the Christmas mood. This generation may not know him much, but I guess they are missing a great collection. Merry Christmas to all you lovely friends here.
A wonderful voice that is missed. Never forgotten.
I tear up every time I hear it
LOVE THIS....
Merry Christmas to all 2019
Jim Reeves is my all time favourite singer.
I always liked listing to Jim Reeves Christmas carols
fantástico o melhor do mundo
I got an old style record player one year for Christmas, just had a volume button and a self lift stylus. My Mom gave me a stack of LPs that had everything from Beatles to Beethoven in it. I picked out Jim Reeves and never looked back. I listen to him all the time - no finer male voice in Country music in ANY era.
It's hard for me to listen to this without it bringing tears to my eyes because Jim Reeves was my late mother's favorite singer and she'd play this song several times at Christmas time. This song she said reminded her of the Christmas V-mail letters my dad would send her when he was in the Pacific during WWII. So I can only bring myself to listen to this only once a year at Christmas time

My mother was the same and I TOO love Jim reeves..and miss my mother every time I am listen to him...merry Christmas 🤗🎅👏💖
God Bless you this Christmas.
@hiwayman981 lovely words and so so many happy memories happy new year !
Joel, my Dad was in WWII and was gone 3 years. Your comment brought tears to my eyes. Don't we have so many memories!
sentimental is the word
One of the smoothest voices in music history. Jim recorded over 400 songs before his death in a tragic plane crash in 1964. When I worked in radio, it was always nice to hear a new Jim Reeves song. His wife was smart and released about two a year. Kept Jim's voice on the radio and may be grabbed onto a few new listeners. RIP Gentlemen Jim!
Merry Christmas and blessed new year to all
The backing singers are sweet; goes for most of his songs; there's a woman/women in a very high register that is just something else.
MISSING YOU MOM AND DAD 😢 💔
My parents loved Jim Reeves too. My dad taught me to waltz with a Jim Reeves record. I play a song and close my eyes and say ‘Ready Dad, let’s waltz and we dance around the kitchen together. I’m positive he’s with me ❤️
Merry Christmas to everyone & all the best for the New Year.
My favorite carol
Thank you my beautiful pappy for sending this to me today, we miss you so much 😍😭😍
Ginny, it was 1975.
Jim Reeves was one of my dad's favourite singers, so we heard a lot of his songs over the years. Nice song for this time of year

They don't make Christmas songs like these. Another favorite of mine is Charlie Pride Christmas in my home town.
Reminds me of my dad , used to sing to my mum , miss you dad , god bless. Xxx
This must be one of the best Christmas songs ever recorded by the best singer that ever walked this earth
What Beautiful song by a singer that was sadly taken away from us far, far too soon. What a beautiful voice Jim had. He died before I was born, and that is so sad. This song always brings tears to my eyes it is so beautiful and sung with such emotion, it means so much in so many ways, thank you Jim for leaving us with such beautiful songs which will be around forever. RIP you are greatly missed.
Jim's voice is God gifted
This reminds me of my first Christmas that Shannon Marie Burns and I spent oh around a quarter of a century ago. It seems like 25 minutes. Oh God I miss her. I know God you needed another angel. She took my heart with her you know. Shannon I will love you for eternity. I love you My Bear. Your Denny. This will be my first Christmas without her and I am terrified.
Sweet sound of jim
Love Jim Reeves.
I love this Man's singing , never tire of it/
When I hear this song I think back to the wonderful time in the new inn at nether westcote and Jim paxford bring auntie Lilly she would love a glass of sherry and all ways wanted me to play this song what wonderful times in the early 70s

Merry christmas 2019 everyone!
My first Chrustmas in 23 years without my Shannon Marie Burns. My heart is so broken, I am utterly devistated by the loss of the greatest human I have ever known. She wrote so many things here on YT. Now I am, in her honor. God Bless you Shannon Burns. I love you like my next heartbeat. Rest your poor little ravage body. I can not stand to look at our Christmas Cards this year. My first without my only love. I am heartbroken beyond words. Your Denny.
Merry Christmas to you!
Ii love Jim Reeves, have a LP purchased in '83. Immortal Songs.

The most perfect voice .
I'm only 26, but I grew up listening to Jim Reeves every Christmas because my parents (and their parents) absolutely loved him. And so do I. Wish singers nowadays had this type of voice, with such meaning and sentimentality behind their songs :)
Today and after 2 moths ago i m 69 years and become 70 until next august. I like the CHRISTMAS song from Jim Reeves very much.
Pure Class, takes me back to the good old days
This was my Mom’s favorite Christmas song. A few years ago after retiring I decided to try learning guitar. I have come a long way with it except trying to play this song and finish it.
Sad Christmas for me without my best friend.
Merry Christmas,Ginny, you passed a 5 days before Christmas, 20008, I miss you.
This song remembers my childhood.
I have to say that Christmas is My Favorite time of the year. Love seeing family n friends who I don't get to though the year. Giving away gifts warms my heart Cooking up all the Goodies 💞.the MUSIC SETS THE MOOD FOR A WONDERFUL TIME FOR ALL THAT APPRECIATE IT
Beautiful. Thank you. Love ❤️ it.
Ohh sarap pakinggan mga old song xmass....kailan kya ko maranasan ..bonding mga pamilya ko...huhuhu
