IF I WERE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE

IF I WERE YOUR CHRISTMAS TREE

If I were your Christmas tree,
the one you picked out from the crowd,
proudly wearing all the ornaments
that my branches have allowed.

My lights would sparkle brightly;
I would twinkle with anticipation
when you walked into the room
to look at me with adoration!

I'd tip the star that shines
(since I do not wear a hat)
and extend to you a lovely bough -
(What do you think of that?)

I would gladly hold the gifts
that you've placed here and there
and if a Christmas tree could smile -
you'd know how very much I care.

But, alas, I'm just a mortal man
whose love sometimes doesn't show;
If I were your Christmas tree,
your heart would always be aglow!
