O' CHRISTMAS TREE

( Recitation )

You know when I was
A young  Man growing up
You didn't see all these

Plastic Christmas Trees
And you certainly couldn't buy
Them along side the Road.

My Father and I would go
Out in the Woods in search
Of that perfect
Christmas Tree.

Sometimes it would take all Day,
Because my Father wanted to climb
To the very top of the Hill

To find what he called the very
Strongest and most enduring
Christmas Trees

It seems to me looking back
That our Tree stayed greener
Lots longer than

Many of the others
In the entire
Neighborhood.

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Your Beauty lasts forever

But most of all
At Christmas Time
Your Boughs so rich
Bring Joy Sublime

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Your Beauty lasts forever

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Your Beauty lasts forever

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
A Lesson you can teach us

You give us Hope and Constancy
Strength and Faith
Oh lovely Tree

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
A Lesson you can teach us

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
A Lesson you can teach us

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Thy Leaves are so unchanging

Not only green
When Summer's here
But also when
'Tis cold and drear

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Thy Leaves are so unchanging

O' Christmas Tree
O' Christmas Tree
Thy Leaves are so unchanging 

( Spoken )

You know in the beginning
Of this Song
We talked about
How Times have changed.

But thinking about it,
Things haven't changed that much.

I take my Kids
To find a Christmas Tree
Each Year

And we always
Go to the
Top Of The Hill
