Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me

Every year this Christmas tree
Brings to us both joy and glee
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me

Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Thy candles shine so brightly
Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Thy candles shine so brightly

Each bough does hold its tiny light
That makes each toy to sparkle bright




Oh Christmas tree, oh Christmas tree
Thy candles shine so brightly
