Al Jarreau - The Little Christmas Tree Lyrics

I watch
The snow flakes fall
Against my window pane
And wonder if you
Are watching snow
Flakes too

I take a walk downtown
To where
You used to meet me
There's joy everywhere
But all that's
Waiting there

Is just

[Chorus]
A little Christmas tree
Lookin' sorta
Sad n' lonely just like me
No one seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve

I hear the Christmas bell
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer
That only brings me tears

I sadly close my eyes
And say a little prayer
You'll be
Waiting there for me
I look but all I see

Is just

[Chorus]

This is the season of love
But I'm as sad as I can be
Why did you have to leave me

Oh

[Chorus]
