The greatest Christmas present Is something you can?t buy When World War II was over We trimmed the tree alone But we saved the star for daddy 'Cause daddy was coming home We bought momma a new dress We bought daddy a tie But he brought us each something That money couldn?t buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can?t buy I?ve talked to pa this evening For an hour on the phone He said, "Don?t spend a lot on presents (He said, "Son, now don?t you all spend a lot of money on presents") We just want you all at home" ("You know all momma and I want is just to have you all here at home") But we?ll buy momma a new dress And daddy another tie And we?ll spend lots of time together And that?s something you can?t buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can?t buy Some day, and I know it?s coming When all of us won?t be Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but I know we won?t always be together at Christmas) You know, daddy?s seventy-three (Doesn't seem possible but guess your daddy will turn seventy-three) And to pay back all he gave me I can?t but I will try I?ll pass along to my kids Something they can?t buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can?t buy |
