Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Thy leaves are so unchanging
Not only green when summer's here
But also when it's cold and drear
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Mmmmmm...
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me
Oh, every year this Christmas tree
Brings to us such joy and glee
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Such pleasure do you bring me
Sleep in heavenly
Sleep in heavenly...
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
Oh, ever green unchanging
A symbol of good will and love
You'll ever be unchanging
Each shining light, each silver bell
No other light spreads cheer so well
O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree
You'll ever be unchanging
Yeah, oooh...
The song "O Christmas Tree" is a traditional Christmas carol that has been around for centuries. In this rendition by the Glee Cast featuring Matthew Morrison (Will), the opening lines "O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree, thy leaves are so unchanging" set the tone for the entire song. The lyrics express the stability and steadfastness of the evergreen tree, even in the coldest and harshest of conditions.
As the song continues, the joy and pleasure of the Christmas tree are celebrated. The tree is not just a decoration, but a symbol of the holiday season that brings happiness and good cheer. The line "each shining light, each silver bell, no other light spreads cheer so well" emphasizes the importance and beauty of the classic Christmas tree decorations.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of reverence and appreciation for the Christmas tree, which is more than just a physical object. It represents the love, goodness, and hope of the holiday season. The last line "You'll ever be unchanging" is a reminder that, even as the years go by, the tradition of the Christmas tree remains constant and reliable.
