O Christmas Tree
“O Christmas Tree” is a wildly popular holiday song. In fact, the song is so popular that there are many different versions, each of which is based on a traditional German folk song. That song, “0 Tannenbaum,” is centuries old and has nothing to do with Christmas.
“O Christmas Tree”
0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree Thy leaves are so unchanging 0 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 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree Thy leaves are so unchanging 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree Such pleasure do you bring me 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree Such pleasure do you bring me For every year this Christmas tree Brings to us such joy and glee 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree Such pleasure do you bring me 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree You’ll ever be unchanging A symbol of goodwill and love You’ll ever be unchanging Each shining light, each silver bell No one alive spreads cheer so well 0 Christmas tree, o Christmas tree You’ll ever be unchanging
