In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth
And just about this time each year
The snow softly falls and the choir bells ring
To welcome the Christmas time cheer

In a quiet little town by the side of the sea
What happiness Christmas will bring
Where friends rare as diamonds content will be
To dance and to laugh and to sing

It was come into my house, so humble and small
Let's drink a toast to us here
To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all
And we'll wish for a Happy New Year

Come sit in the parlor how cozy and bright
With the warmth of the old fashioned stove
And its flickering flames and the kerosene light
Makes a warm Christmas feeling of love

Now each year at Christmas I think of it still
No matter where ever I be
In fancy my mind wanders back to my youth
To that snug little spot by the sea

It was come into my house so humble and small
Let's drink a toast to us here
To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all
And we'll wish for a Happy New Year
To the twelve days of Christmas we'll drink to them all
And we'll wish for a Happy New Year.
