The Little Christmas Tree - Al Jarreau

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 a little Christmas tree

Looking 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 a little Christmas tree

Looking 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

This is the season of love

But I’m as sad as I can be

Why did you have to leave me?

Oh, little Christmas tree

Looking 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
