Something You Can't Buy - The Statler Brothers

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 pass along to my kids

Something they can’t buy

The greatest Christmas present

Is something you can’t buy
