Christmastime Seems Years And Years Away 2 Dec 1 lyrics

[1st verse:]
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 be soon be here`
But he looked at her and sighed

[chorus:]
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?

[2nd verse:]
`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`
