The Oak Ridge Boys - Beneath The Christmas Tree lyrics
[The Oak Ridge Boys - Beneath The Christmas Tree lyrics]
Tree that stood within the square
I watched it's sparkling lights shine through
The cold and snowy air
Then some movement caught my eye
Below it's branches green
I wondered what could be there
Beneath the Christmas tree
Then I saw a little boy with tangled
Golden curls
And blue eyes dancing full of life
Though life had been so cruel
He said, "Tonight's the night Santa comes
I hope he comes to me
And sees me just as you
Did beneath the Christmas tree
Silent night, oh holy night
How clearly, Lord, I see
But for Thy Grace it could be me
There beneath the Christmas tree
Somewhere bells were ringing as I
Slipped off my coat
Wrapped it 'round his shoulders and
Held his body close
On the night that Christ was born
There's no way I could leave
This cold and hungry orphan boy
Beneath the Christmas tree
Silent night, oh holy night
I took him home with me
But for Thy Grace, it could be me
There beneath the Christmas tree
