the little christmas tree
I watch The snow flakes fall Against my window pane And wonder if you Are watching snow Flakes 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  [Chorus] A little Christmas tree Lookin' sorta Sad n' 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 bell 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  [Chorus]  This is the season of love But I'm as sad as I can be Why did you have to leave me  Oh  [Chorus]
