Something You Can't Buy |
| The greatest Christmas present |
| Is something you can’t buy |
| When World War 2 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 (now son don’t you spend a lot on |
| presents) |
| We just want you to come on home (you know all me and Momma want is you all to |
| come on 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 I know it’s coming |
| When all of us won’t be |
| Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but we won’t always be together |
| for christmas) |
| You know Daddy’s seventy-three (it seems hard to believe but 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 |
