Story Behind The Song

I was turing the on the lights on the tree one day when I knew my daughter would be coming home from school because I wanted her to see them in the window, and that's when the idea sprang forth.

Song Description

This is a celebration of the significance of a Christmas tree during the holiday season...how exciting it is to see it in the window when you are a child, and how it represents all the excitement of Christmas...watching the lights twinkle, making the Christmas list, etc.

Lyrics

The Magic of a Christmas Tree
Words and Music by Judy Pancoast

Verse one
You're walking home from school through the falling snow,
You look up and you see it in the window;
It's your Christmas tree,
Making magic in the air
When your chores are done after dinner time,
You sit back just to watch the twinkling lights shine;
It's your Christmas tree,
It's the best one anywhere

chorus
The magic of a Christmas tree turns an ordinary room into a fantasy
Imagine Santa Claus standing there on Christmas tree
Makes even the biggest kid around believe
In a Christmas tree

Verse two
Every year you say, "It's the best one yet!"
Sporting all the special ornaments you can't forget;
It's your Christmas tree
Holding memories of your life;
You take the catalogs to make your Christmas list;
Under the tree wishing every wish
And the Christmas tree makes the wishes all come alive!
repeat chorus twice
