In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth

And just about this time each year

The snow softly falls and the choir bells ring

To welcome the Christmas time cheer



In a quiet little town by the side of the sea

What happiness Christmas will bring

Where friends rare as diamonds content will be

To dance and to laugh and to sing



It was come into my house, so humble and small

Let's drink a toast to us here

To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all

And we'll wish for a Happy New Year



Come sit in the parlor how cozy and bright

With the warmth of the old fashioned stove

And its flickering flames and the kerosene light

Makes a warm Christmas feeling of love



Now each year at Christmas I think of it still

No matter where ever I be

In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth

To that snug little spot by the sea



It was come into my house so humble and small

Let's drink a toast to us here

To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all

And we'll wish for a Happy New Year

To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all

And we'll wish for a Happy New Year.
