Lyrics
Jingle bells jingle bells falalala
Jingle bells jingle bells falalala
It's the coming of Christmas season
Days of shopping days of pleasin'
Sugar plums and mistle toe
Yuletide lights all a glow
And this year is not really different
Except that there's someone new missing
It dampens my Christmas cheer
And brings on those all familiar tears
Chorus
But I find the Christmas cards that I have saved
From those who have passed; mostly handmade
And I place them upon my fireplace shelf
And I am no longer by myself
Scenes of Mangers, scenes of Christmas
Reindeer sleighs and Ole St Nicolaus
I dance under a holiday spell
As if I'm one of Santa's elves
Chorus
But I find the Christmas cards that I have saved
From those who have passed; mostly handmade
And I place them upon my fireplace shelf
And I am no longer by myself
Bridge
Instead of being sad with who I don't have
I revel in the past with what all we had
And every ornament on my tree
Reflects a loving memory
Chorus
But I find the Christmas cards that I have saved
From those who have passed; mostly handmade
And I place them upon my fireplace shelf
And I am no longer by myself
But I find the Christmas cards that I have saved
From those who have passed; mostly handmade
And I place them upon my fireplace shelf
And I am no longer by myself
jingle bells jingle bells falalala
jingle bells jingle bells falalala
