The First Christmas Tree (Christmas) (Slow-Tempo)

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

I COULD SEE THE LAD WAS TROUBLED

STANDING THERE ON CHRISTMAS EVE

IT’S HARD FOR AN EIGHT YEAR OLD

TO SAY WHAT HE REALLY MEANS

HE FINALLY SAID SANTA CAN’T BE REAL

I’M TOO OLD TO BELIEVE

SO WHERE DID IT COME FROM

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

I SAT BACK AND SMILED AT MY SON

THINKING HOW BLESSED ONE CAN BE

I MOTIONED HIM TO COME OVER

AND SAID SET HERE ON MY KNEE

I’M GONNA TELL YOU A STORY

THAT MIGHT HELP YOU TO SEE

THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISTMAS

AND THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

CHORUS:

THE CROSS WAS THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

AND THE LIGHT THAT IT HELD

CAN STILL BE SEEN

IT ONCE HELD A STAR

THAT SET ALL MEN FREE

THE CROSS WAS THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

THE FIRST TREE SOME SAY WAS CEDAR

BUT SOME PEOPLE DISAGREE

IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN A CYPRUS

IT DOESN’T MATTER MUCH TO ME

I DON’T KNOW WHAT KIND OF TREE IT WAS

BUT I KNOW THAT THEIR WAS THREE

AND THE ONE IN THE MIDDLE

WAS THE FIRST CHRISTMAS TREE

CHORUS:
