Eddy Arnold - C-H-R-I-S-T-M-A-S lyrics

When I was but a youngster Christmas meant one thing

That I'd be getting lots of toys that day

I learned a whole lot different when mother set me down

And taught me to spell Christmas this way.

C is for the Christ Child born upon this day

H is for Herald Angels in the night

R means our redeemer

I means Israel

S is for the star that shone so bright

T is for three wise men they who travelled far

M is for the manger where he lay

A's for all he stands for

S means shepherds came

And that's why there's a Christmas Day.

And that's why there's a Christmas Day...
