The greatest Christmas present
Is something you cant 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 couldnt buy
The greatest christmas present
Is something you cant buy
Ive talked to Pa this evening
For an hour on the phone
He said dont spend a lot on presents (now son dont 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 well buy Momma a new dress
And Daddy another tie
And well spend lots of time together
And thats something you cant buy
The greatest Christmas present
Is something you cant buy
Some day I know its coming
When all of us wont be
Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but we wont always be together for christmas)
You know Daddys seventy-three (it seems hard to believe but your daddy will turn seventy-three)
And to pay back all he gave me
I cant but I will try
Ill pass along to my kids
Something they cant buy
The greatest Christmas present
Is something you cant buy
