Old Fashioned Christmas

I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
I'd like to spend it with you
Just you and me and a small Christmas tree
Maybe a present or two
A glass of good wine after dinner
Watching repeats on TV
I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
If you would spend it with me

The kids want an Xbox for Xmas
An iPhone and maybe a bike
Money to spend on the latest new trend
But there's only one thing I would like

I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
I'd like to spend it with you
Just you and me and a small Christmas tree
Maybe a present or two
A glass of good wine after dinner
Watching repeats on TV
I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
If you would spend it with me

It seems like it snowed every Christmas
We'd build snowmen and play snowball fights
The carols we sang as the steeple bells rang
Christmas mass in the church at midnight

I'd like that old fashioned Christmas
I'd like to spend it with you
Just you and me and a small Christmas tree
Maybe a present or two
A glass of good wine after dinner
Watching repeats on TV
I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
If you would spend it with me

I'm thinking of old friends at Christmas
Wond'ring if they think of me
If they remember those days in December
How an old fashioned Christmas would be

I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
I'd like to spend it with you
Just you and me and a small Christmas tree
Maybe a present or two
A glass of good wine after dinner
Watching repeats on TV
I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
If you would spend it with me

I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
I'd like to spend it with you
Just you and me and a small Christmas tree
Maybe a present or two
A glass of good wine after dinner
Watching repeats on TV
I'd like an old fashioned Christmas
If you would spend it with me

"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas"
If you would spend it with me
