The Christmas Tree

There once was a tree, a beautiful tree That grew in fairy land In winter time, the wind would blow Over the land of ice and snow Bringing the sound of the laughter of children Bringing the sounds of joy Telling the tree of wonder of Christmas for every girl and boy Oh, how he wish they could come and see Just what a beautiful tree was he Oh, how he wish he were a Christmas tree One starry night, his branches so bright Were glistening in the snow And as he stood so silently, wishing he were a Christmas tree Softly there came from the forest surround him magic with jingling bells Nearer and nearer, they seem to surround him, weaving their magic spell Oh, how he quivered with fright because they're right beside him with Santa Claus Asking him if he'd be his Christmas tree Now in his fancy dress, he's the best of all the Christmas trees Playing with gifts and bon-bon too Gay fairy lights of every hue He stands and waits for the children to see him Dressed in his party bells Oh, what a thrill when they see all the tinsel Round Mr. Robin's nest And as he raises his arms so green Santa agrees with the Fairy Queen He is a very beautiful Christmas tree He is a very beautiful Christmas tree
