Lyrics
OUR CHRISTMAS TREE
Verse 1:
OUR CHRISTMAS TREE looks bright on Christmas Eve tonight
Every branch loaded with ornaments and lights
Candy canes hang there - icicles everywhere
Way up high, silvery bright, a star for this night
Verse 2:
An angel for each child whose presents will be piled
Underneath OUR CHRISTMAS TREE to bring out their smiles
The skirt around the base shows Santa's smiling face
A picture of the jolly elf who arrives in a while
Bridge:
Ornaments are memories placed there with loving care
Hanging together on OUR CHRISTMAS TREE is our Yuletide history
Verse 3:
Gathered round our tree on this Christmas Eve
Singing carols, telling stories with our family
Everyone is here, those that we hold dear
Even ghosts from Christmas past keep watch silently
Bridge:
Christmas is time for remembering joy and happiness shared
Christmas is time when families show just how much they care
Refrain:
OUR CHRISTMAS TREE looks bright on Christmas Eve tonight
I realize I love it more as each year goes by
