I have a list of people
I know
All written in
a book
And every year
at Christmastime
I go and take a
look
And that is when
I realize
That those names
are a part
Not of the book
they're written in
But of my very
heart
For each name stands
for someone
Who has crossed
my path some time
And in that meeting
they've become
A treasured friend
of mine
And once you've
met some people
The years can not
erase
The memory of a
pleasant word
Or a friendly face
So when I send
a Christmas card
That is addressed
to you
It's because you're
on that list
Of folk I'm indebted
to
And you are one
of many folk who
In times past I've
met
And happen to be
one of those
I don't want to
forget
And whether I have
known you for
Many years or few
In some way you
have a part in
Shaping things
I do
This, the spirit
of Christmas, that
Forever and ever
endures
May it leave it
richest blessing
In the hearts of
you and yours.
