Lyrics
Christmas Came Early This Year
Coming home from a war torn country
In October, you'll get your leave
I got a letter saying you'll arrive
Around the nineteenth
Last year we spent the holidays
With Daddy overseas
The kids and me missed you so
when we decorated our tree
Chorus:
So I'm putting up that Christmas tree
Right before Halloween
We'll hang those lights
And silver bells
And wreaths of red and green
And when Christmas comes
You'll be gone again
But I won't shed a tear
'Coz Christmas came early this year
Verse 2
Oh the angels are keeping you safe from harm
They'll deliver you to me
Even though the frost hasn't hit the pumpkins
We'll have our Christmas feast
And we'll dine on sweet potatoes
Apple pie and Christmas ham
And we'll unwrap all our presents
Before you head to foreign lands
Repeat chorus
Instrumental break
Repeat chorus
