grace graber - his favorite christmas story lyrics

[chorus]
he met her up in delaware in 1937
she was wearing red lipstick to match a pretty dress
december 24th at quarter ’til 11
when he finally gained the courage to ask her to dance

[verse 1]
it was the night before christmas, it was love at first sight
the carolers sang as they danced through the night
she was a small+town girl, he was a traveling guy
he never caught her name before they said their goodbyеs
(never caught her namе before they said their goodbyes)

[verse 2]
a couple years later he was out on the road
having christmas dinner in a diner alone
when he saw a young waitress with a gleam in her eye
her favorite day of the year, she showed her spirits were high
she said, “sir, can you shed a little holiday cheer?”
a simple christmas stories all she wanted to hear
he looked ready with a smile as he started to say
“here’s my favorite christmas story about a girl with no name”

[chorus]
he said, “i met her up in delaware in 1937
she was wearing red lipstick to match her pretty dress
december 24th at a quarter ’til 11
is when i finally gained the courage to ask her to dance”
[verse 3]
every holiday season as he traveled, he’d tell
of his christmas dance partner that he never knew well
he’d share his favorite story with the locals he’d met
he was called the christmas story telling traveling man

[verse 4]
and by age fifty+three he was all settled down
all the neighborhood kids like to gather around
just to listen to his stories about his life on the road
all he had now were the memories he holds
and every christmas eve, he would go from the start
he would tell them all the story, but they knew it by heart
they could quote it, word for word he always told it the same
it was his favorite christmas story called the girl with no name

[bridge]
twenty years later as he took his last breaths
on a cold christmas morning in a hospital bed
the children had grown, he had n0body left
except the little old nurse who he was holding his hand
he said “ma’am, can you share a little holiday cheer?”
a simple christmas story is all he wanted to hear
but his eyes filled with tears as the words that she spoke
because his favorite christmas story was the one that she told
[chorus]
she said, “i met him up in delaware in 1937
though i never caught his name, he was a traveling man
december 24th at a quarter ’til 11
i’m so glad he gained the courage to ask me to dance
