Lyrics
TREASURES ON A TREE (the ornament song)
My Christmas memories.......
The ornament treasures that hang on my tree
are the things that awaken these mem'ries in me.
I bring down from my attic, just once ev'ry year
my fav'rite mementoes of holiday cheer,
then I gently unpack them with sighs of delight,
and on evergreen branches, I place them just right.
They deserve this display in the tree lights' warm glow;
for while all tell a story, it's love that they show.
The "Baby's 1st Christmas" bell, painted pale blue
hangs near toddler-made snowmen of cotton and glue,
the striped pipe cleaner candy canes bent into shape,
and fragile glass reindeer repaired with clear tape.
Crocheted angels with haloes bring tears to my eye;
they were gifts for each other we just had to buy,
and though days and then years have flown by way too fast, I recall ev'ry one, from the first to the last.
Chorus
They're my treasures on a tree, my special Christmas memories. Ornaments so dear to me all evoke a memory
of a special time, of a special place, of a loved one's face -
my Christmas memories, fond Christmas memories, my Christmas memories.... Whatever Christmas may hold in store, I look forward to many more. My Christmas memories... my treasures on a tree....
