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
