You're Gonna See This Tree

Don't know your holiday plans

Can't tell you where this began

Seems like forever and a dream

I hang the ornaments and trim til i'm green

I do believe you're going to see this tree

Are the needles falling too fast

Just like the minutes that pass

I check the water and remember to breathe

O holy patience sweet faith is all i need

I do believe you're going to see this tree

I keep it to myself

Who i'm decorating for

No one would understand the truth

I smile like a merry elf

Just one day more

And so on til the night i smile at you

Touched down for a new york minute

Spun round and you just kept spinning

On your way to LA far from me

The lights all twinkle here in tennessee

And i do believe you're going to see this tree

It seems unlikely yes a yuletide game of chess

Maybe i'll wait a thousand years til you're free

Still i am just as sure as christmas eve

I do believe you're going to see this tree
