ONE HAPPY CHRISTMAS
(Carmol Taylor)

Tammy Wynette - 1970



I heard the doorbell ringin' as the clock was strikin' three
I thought can that be Santa Claus, since this is Christmas Eve
I hurried to the door to find out what was goin' on
And there you stood smilin', tellin' me that you'd come home

It's a-gonna be one happy Christmas, one happy Christmas
You and me and all the children gathered round the tree
It's a-gonna be one happy Christmas, one happy Christmas
Old Santa did remember 'cause he brought you home to me

Let's not wake the children, since they've finally gone to sleep
They've been listenin' all night long for sounds of reindeer feet
They'll ask a hundred questions soon as they jump out of bed
I know they'll ask you if old Santa brought you in his sled

It's a-gonna be one happy Christmas, one happy Christmas
You and me and all the children gathered round the tree
It's a-gonna be one happy Christmas, one happy Christmas
Old Santa did remember 'cause he brought you home to me
Old Santa did remember 'cause he brought you home to me
