Postcard to Sparrow

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Christmas Bells are ringing Everybody singing Children are dancing Young couples romancing My lover from Trinidad Sent me a little postcard I opened and read And this is what the little postcard said [Chorus] Have a Merry Christmas my dear And have a Happy New Year Prosperous in everything you do Happy Holiday to you [Verse 2] She say how she miss me And longing to kiss me She is very lonely And she love me only I stood almost hypnotized With tears running from my eyes But still I could see The Season's Greeting she sent to mе [Chorus] Have a Merry Christmas my dear And havе a Happy New Year Prosperous in everything you do Happy Holiday to you [Verse 3] My poor heart was aching And me hands were shaking So I kept on trying To keep me from crying I tried everything I could But my heart isn't made of wood With card in me hand I cried more than Alice in Wonderland [Chorus] With this Merry Christmas my dear Have a Happy New Year Prosperous in everything you do Happy Holiday to you [Verse 4] When Dottie was leaving I knew I was grieving But I tried my utmost To be as strong as a lamp post But love is a crazy thing It is no use pretending I love her so bad Tomorrow I'm going back to Trinidad [Chorus] Have a Merry Christmas my dear And have a Happy New Year Prosperous in everything you do Happy Holiday to you
