The Bird at the Top of the Tree (feat. Steve Erdody)

It's the first week of December
I see it on the shelf
She takes the box down and
That's when I feel the guilt
I get the same knot in my gut every year
We give the tree water
And then we open up the lid

I stare down inside and you're looking at me
I hold you so close and put you into the tree
I put you so high so you see us below
You're not alone
You're not alone

I wonder if I join you
Will you even know who I am?
Would you run and give me a hug
Or will we pass without a glance?
God needed you and I know
You're guiding me home
Are your eyes green or are they brown?
I guess we'll wait and see

I stare down inside and you're looking at me
I hold you so close and put you into the tree
I put you so high so you see us below
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone

Baby, we lost you
I wonder if you knew
How much love we have for you
You don't even have a name
Baby, we love you
You're sitting in heaven's view
I'm calling all angels
I wonder if you have your wings

I stare down inside and you're looking at me
I hold you so close and put you into that tree
I put you so high so you'll see us below
So you're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
You're not alone
