The Statler Brothers - Something You Can't Buy lyrics

The greatest Christmas present Is something you can't 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 couldn't buy The greatest christmas present Is something you can't buy I've talked to Pa this evening For an hour on the phone He said don't spend a lot on presents (now son don't 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 we'll buy Momma a new dress And Daddy another tie And we'll spend lots of time together And that's something you can't buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can't buy Some day I know it's coming When all of us won't be Together there for Christmas (I hate to face it but we won't always be together for christmas) You know Daddy's seventy-three (it seems hard to believe but your daddy will turn seventy-three) And to pay back all he gave me I can't but I will try I'll pa** along to my kids Something they can't buy The greatest Christmas present Is something you can't buy
