[Verse 1]
I wanna be a Christmas tree
How come nobody looks at me?
I know I'm scrawny and I'm kinda small
But I'm gonna grow ten feet tall
I'd be bigger if I had a star
I'd learn to be where the children are
My heart is heavy and I wanna go
But my time will come, I know
[Chorus 1]
I'm just a lonely tree
The wind whistles right through me
When will somebody see
I'm gonna be a Christmas tree?
[Verse 2]
The youth, how they came when they cut me down
And took me to the biggest house in town
They put on tinsel and lights so bright
And when Santa came I was quite a sight
[Bridge]
What's happening?
Why are you taking me away?
I thought, I thought I was hеre to stay
[Verse 3]
Suddenly, all my lights werе gone
And I felt like I didn't belong
I was left in the streets to die
And everybody passed me by
[Chorus 2]
I'm just a lonely tree
The wind whistles right through me
Do you remember me
When I was a Christmas tree?
I'm just a dying tree
The wind takes my leaves from me
Do you remember me
When I was a Christmas tree?
I'm just a dying...
