YESTERDAY'S CHRISTMAS
(Bobby Sherman)

Bobby Sherman - 1970


I can remember the Christmases I've seen
By the things that most people know
With fresh pine tree smells, songs like 'Jingle Bells'
Going for sleigh rides in the snow

The streets of the city became a crystal charm
And the dime store Santa Claus appeared
And to the children's delight at his upcoming flight
The World waited as the hour drew near

Then the day would arrive, much too early for most
And the spirit of giving ran high
And the new train would roar on the living room floor
And the air would fill with hot pumpkin pie

I used to know my Christmases this way
I am not sad, but those times are now through
Because Christmas this time has been made to be mine
Because Christmas this year I'll be with you
