Around the Christmas Tree
Engelbert Humperdinck Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Around and 'round the Christmas tree
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
For you - on Christmas Day

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
