Whatever Happened to Christmas

[Jimmy Webb]

Whatever happened to christmas? its gone and left no traces,
Whatever happened to the faces or the glow,

Whatever happened to christmas, to christmas way of living?
Whatever happened to the giving, the magic in the snow?

Remember the sights and the smells and the sounds,
And remember hearing the call,
Remember how love was all around, whatever happened to it all?

Whatever happened to christmas, bells in the streets were ringing,
Whatever happened to the singing, the songs we used to know.

Whatever happened to this christmas, and when did it disappeared from view,
Where was i, and whatever happened to you?
Whatever happened to christmas and you?
