There was a family
In the town where I grew up
They lived just down the road
And they did not have much
Every year at Christmas time
Daddy would get two trees
He put one up in our house
And the neighbors down the street
They had three little girls at home
Mama went shopping for
With five kids of her own to tend
What were a couple more
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Our Parents
always taught us
You share
what you have
You might
think your life is grim
But some have it twice as bad
You need
to be a Godly person
Love all,
that’s why we’re here
Don’t just
give at Christmas
Christmas comes but once a year
~~*~~
That little family
Who lived down the road from us
Shared their garden treasures
Always claimed they had enough
All us kids grew up and left
We still visit and send cards
Three young ladies remembered
Who was there when times were hard
One of them became a doctor
She was there when it was time
Took care of Mama, then Daddy
And she didn't charge a dime
~~~*Lyrical
Bridge*~~~
Think of
others, not just yourselves
Be a
giving soul, help each other out
It all
comes back around, and envelopes you
Do it the
whole year through
For all
you teach your children, make them hear
Christmas
only comes but once a year
~~*~~
~~~*Chorus*~~~
Our
Parents always taught us
You share
what you have
You might
think your life is grim
But some have it twice as bad
You need
to be a Godly person
Love all,
that’s why we’re here
Don’t just
give at Christmas
Christmas comes but once a year
~~*~~
