Lyrics

Every Christmas Tree

Hear the bellringer ringin'
The carollers are singin'
They remind me it 'tis the season
Now these houses glow
With their lights and the snow
And I know I have plenty of reason

CHORUS:
To make time to give thanks and praise
For the blessings that I now see
May the warmth of the season
Burn bright in my heart
Like the lights that shine on EVERY
CHRISTMAS TREE

Hear the church bells toll
For every soul
Whether living or dearly departed
Folks lift up their hearts
As the music starts
For the poor, oppressed and downhearted

CHORUS:
'Cause it's time to give thanks and praise
For the blessings that we now see
May the warmth of the season
Burn bright in our hearts
Like the lights that shine on EVERY
CHRISTMAS TREE

BRIDGE:
And it surely would be such a fine thing
I often hear people say
If we chose to live our lives as though
Everyday were Christmas day
Fa la la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la
Fa la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la

On Christmas morn'
The wrapping is torn
From these gifts that we give and receive
Loved ones far and near
Bring us good cheer
Makin' even old Scrooge believe

That it's time to give thanks and praise
For the blessings that we now see
May the warmth of the season
Burn bright in our hearts
Like the lights that shine on EVERY (repeat twice)
CHRISTMAS TREE
