| THE TREE
Was it only yesterday, with smiles of joy that showed
our children scampered down the stairs to the tree lit all aglow,
We can still remember, the early morning pleas
that rose us from our slumber, and drew us to the tree
CHORUS:
The tree stands so majestically on this wondrous holiday
as we quietly bow our heads, neath its boughs and pause to pray,
for it symbolizes Christmas, a joyous day we hold so dear
and we vow to keep it in our hearts throughout the coming year
The gifts all promptly opened, papers / ribbons strewn about
pictures quickly taken, midst confusion, that's no doubt
for a moment peace and quiet as the kids run off with glee
leaving just us two together gazing on the wondrous tree
(chorus)
The years have flown so swiftly and the children all have gone
they've started new life journeys, leaving us to carry on
but, each year on this - Christ's Birthday, they each cherish memories
of the love that they were given, and the vision of the tree
(chorus)
