Christmas-Time Seems Years And Years Away
Composer(s): Ted Snyder - Irving Berlin
In a garden fair, sat a happy pair
'Neath a shady maple tree
She had promised him
"We'll be married, Jim
To the chimes of Trinity
"Tis the month of May, but next Christmas Day
I will be your blushing bride
Don't you worry dear
It will soon be here"
But he looked at her and sighed
"Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?"
"There is nothing, dear, that I have to fear
If I can't afford the ring
Santa Claus is kind
And I'm sure he'll find
Just a plain gold band to bring
It's been just a year since I met you, dear
But it seems like just a day
If I only could, girlie dear, I would
Turn December into May"
"Christmas chimes mean happy times, for you and me, sweetheart
Winter time means you'll be mine, and never more to part
Honeymoon can't shine too soon, I wish it were today
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time seem years and years away?"
