Little Christmas Tree
Jackson 5 · Other Songs - Jackson 5
And wonder if you are watching snowflakes too
I take a walk downtown to where you used to meet me
There's joy everywhere but all that's waiting there
Is just a little Christmas tree
Lookin' sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
I hear the Christmas bells, the happy people singing
The songs of good cheer that only brings me tears
I sadly close my eyes and say a little prayer
You'll be waiting there for me, I look but all I see
Is just a little Christmas tree
Lookin' sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
This is the season of love
But I'm as sad as I can be
Why did you have to leave me?
Oh, little Christmas tree
Lookin' sort of sad and lonely just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve
