Quartette - The Perfect Christmas Tree Lyrics

From the Album: I See A Star

The Perfect Christmas Tree
Every year it's the same dilemma,
how do you find the perfect Christmas tree ? I like something you can store in a closet
already decorated, not by me. Those lonely pines in a lot by the roadside
always bring me to tears. We could adopt a sapling, then
let it grow in the ground for years and years. We'll ask the heavens what methods saints use. The perfect answer - let someone else choose. We all agree on the ideal tree, it's a Three foot fir to plant in the Spring.
As we watch it grow it will always bring
Memories of this merry Christmas morning - together

Let's decorate in the best of taste
old-fashioned beads that swoop and loop around. I like tinsel in excess
cascading from the tip to the very ground I have a vision of white light
upward stretching I find blinking, flashing, bubbling lights are
seasonal and always fetching. We'll ask the heavens what methods saints use. The perfect answer - let someone else choose We all agree on the ideal tree One star twinkles at the very top.
Beads carry on where the white lights stop
Tinsel tells of a merry Christmas morning - together

Our little tree in full regalia
Shines in our eyes like the eighth world wonder, But not really big enough
to fit the presents under it. I suggest we open all the extras,
that's one solution, Or we could give some away,
that's a more generous resolution. We ask the heavens what methods saints use. The perfect answer - let someone else choose We all agree on the ideal tree It sits up proudly on a kitchen crate,
Just a few gifts left, in a happy state
We'll wake up early and celebrate,
Celebrate our Merry Christmas morning - together
