Lyrics
There’s a Christmas memory
I recall so well
Takes me back to when I was a child
Just her and me
By the lights of the tree
We’d sit and she would softly sing awhile
0 Little Town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
I was always a shepherd
In the church Christmas play
And she helped me memorize my part
We would decorate the mantlepiece
And count the Christmas cards
And I learned all those memories by heart
Silent Night, Holy Night
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Hiding Christmas presents
Wrapped in pretty bows
Each year they’d be some place I couldn’t find
And while helping her bake cookies
Shaped like Christmas trees
She’d tell me the old, old story one more time
Away In A Manger
No crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Lay down His sweet head
Keeping Christmas secrets
Was always lots of fun
But there’s one
I never tried to keep from you
So for everything you’ve done for me
And still do today
Merry Christmas Momma, I love you
