To An Old Friend

(A Christmas Greeting)

Nearly a year since I wrote you, Dear,

With so many things to say,

Over a year since I saw you, Dear,

A-lovin' you every day;

So few hours in a day it seems,

So few days in a year!

I'm writin' a rhyme at Christmas time

To say, "I'm a-lovin' you, dear."
