The tree shining brightly - it’s lights all aglow
So many precious memories that only you know
The bauble the children painted with glee
A beautiful angel hangs on a branch on our tree
There’s stars, bells and reindeer - collected for years
And now I stop, as down my cheek rolls a tear
Another Christmas without you - I feel so alone
When you died a spark went out in our home
But my tree brings me joy and a warm feeling
Memories of children, Christmas morning, squealing
Memories of laughter as we adorned our tree
With decorations collected as a family
So I will sit and smile, wipe the tears from my face
For you live on in my heart in a very special place
