Around the Christmas Tree
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
You’re so beautiful, won’t you dance with me
Red and yellow, blue and green
What a beautiful Christmas tree
Outside the snow is crisp and white
Father Christmas is on his way
His sleigh is probably filled with things
All the stars are shining bright
All glittering on this special night
The world is filled with colored light
From the beautiful Christmas tree
Come and dance with me
Outside the snow is crisp and white
Old Man Christmas is on his way
His sleigh is positively filled with things
For you and me - on Christmas Day
See the baubles shining bright
They’re all glittering on this special night
The world is filled with colored light
From the beautiful Christmas tree
What a beautiful Christmas tree
On this wonderful night
Won’t you dance with me?
On this beautiful night
A Merry Christmas
