Christmas Time Seems Years And Years Away 1909

In a garden fair
sat a happy pair,
'neath a shady maple tree;
she had promised him:
"We'll be married, Jim,
to the chimes of Trinity,
'tis the month of May,
but next Christmas Day,
I will be your blushing bride;
don't you worry dear,
it will soon be here."
But he looked at her and sighed.

Christmas chimes mean happy times,
for you and me, sweetheart,
Winter time means you'll be mine,
and never more to part,
Honeymoon can't shine too soon,
I wish it were today,
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time
seem years and years away?

Christmas chimes mean happy times,
for you and me, sweetheart,
Winter time means you'll be mine,
and never more to part,
Honeymoon can't shine too soon,
I wish it were today,
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time
seem years and years away?

There is nothing, dear,
that I have to fear,
if I can't afford the ring,
Santa Claus is kind,
and I'm sure he'll find,
just a plain gold band to bring,
it's been just a year
since I met you, dear,
but it seems just like a day,
if I only could, girlie dear,
I would turn December into May.

Christmas chimes mean happy times,
for you and me, sweetheart,
Winter time means you'll be mine,
and never more to part,
Honeymoon can't shine too soon,
I wish it were today,
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time
seem years and years away?

Christmas chimes mean happy times,
for you and me, sweetheart,
Winter time means you'll be mine,
and never more to part,
Honeymoon can't shine too soon,
I wish it were today,
Girlie mine, don't Christmas time
seem years and years away?
