Three Christmas Trees Lyrics

T: I never sang of Christmas Joy

When I was a little boy

I never had a Christmas tree

Til that first Christmas that you spent with me

M: We put up lights, a star of Bethlehem

Glass ornaments, with our names on them

Stockings that were hung from hooks

And Life Savers in cardboard books

T: It's been 10 years we're carrying on

Still together but the love is gone

Now I'm alone in an airport bar

A bartop Christmas tree with a faded star

M: Even though it seems too late

I take the time to decorate

Ornaments from years before

Now just memories shattered on the floor

T: So now this year needs to be

The year I make the perfect tree

M: Walking through the snowfall so quiet and monochrome

I see the lights when I get home

M: From down the stairs, I see the glow

A storybook tree, of Christmas hope

Two tiny gifts tied up with bows

I felt so loved that I sat and cried

T: I'm sorry love, this is goodbye

We can't do this, and we both know why

So take this tree, and then I'll go

T + M: We made the worst 'goodbye' from the best 'hello

M: And now you're living far away

T: It's been years since that Christmas day

T + M: Now we don't talk about that time

T: I pretend that I don't need you

M: I pretend I'm fine
