Lyrics

'Twas the middle of December
And a thought came to me
Christmas is coming
And I don't have a tree

Well the kids are all grown
So I wondered "what for?"
Still, I got in my car
And I drove to the store

There were fake trees a-plenty
Some already lit
But I just didn't see one
That seemed it would fit

So back to my car
And while driving around
There were boy scouts and civic groups
With real trees abound!

I strolled through these forests
Though "make-shift" they were
Engulfed by the scent
Of these eight foot tall fir

And suddenly something 
Awoke in my soul
The memories of Christmas
Of days long ago

It brightened my spirit
And gave me a lift
This feeling that stirred
Was my first Christmas gift!

For I, as a child,
And then, as a Dad,
Have been blessed in this lifetime
Through the good and the bad

Yes, the presents, the candy,
The warm memories
All seem to be focused
Around these evergreen trees

From all I've been given
I thought to myself
Maybe this year I will be
One of those elves

So I purchased a tree
Then I said to the man
I'll be back for some more
I've a Christmas tree plan

There's the home for the children
The home for the old
The prisons, the shelters,
The hungry and cold

They all will have Christmas trees
And much more than that
A place to be huddled
A place to look back

And tucked in the branches
I left them a note
"Remember the meaning 
of Christmas", I wrote

"All the carols are sung
And the Christmas lights glow
For one simple reason
That mankind shall know"

"That God loves each one of us
And He wants everyone
To know of the story
Of Jesus, his son"

"For life everlasting
For you and for me
Remember the Christ child
As you gaze at this tree"
