Sentimental Season

Sentimental Season

Christmas is a sentimental season.
Memories spring from everything we do.
A box of half-forgotten decorations—
we take them out
and pass them round
remembering when, and how, and who.

And Christmas is a sentimental season.
Letters come from loved ones far and near.
Telling us of joys and celebrations—
a baby born,
a daughter grown—
with wishes warm we raise a cheer…

Each time it passes by it leaves more reason
for feeling sentimental, but it’s true—
what I love most in this sentimental season
is getting sentimental with you.

Oh, it’s a sentimental season!
Letters come from loved ones far and near.
Telling us of joys and celebrations—
a baby born,
a daughter grown—
with wishes warm we raise a cheer…

Each time it passes by it leaves more reason
for feeling sentimental, but it’s true—
what I love most in this sentimental season
is getting sentimental with you.

What I love most in this sentimental season
is getting sentimental with you.
