At Christmas, when I was five,
I got a nickel to go and by
A candy bar for my mother;
A special present that pleased us both.

As a young man I gave a special woman
A cats-eye ring for Christmas.
For her it was all things.

Then I gave my life and love
To my endearing spouse;
I thought I gave her all I had,
And glad to give it too,
But she also got the house.
