Nitty Gritty Dirt Band One Christmas Tree
The season is on us when all our dreams come true
And for a while the spirit of giving is renewed
And children wonder about the truth of things
That they say at church or hear the angels sing
Our kids have two trees, one at each of our homes
Yours with antique balls and mine with dime store globes
Their Christmas wish is as simple as it's clear
Let their parents pride and anger disappear
So this year at Yuletide, here's how we'll do it
We'll put up one Christmas tree
Then gather 'round it, sing hallelujah
Peace on earth and to our family
The kids swear they remember loving years before
When they heard the neighbors caroling at our door
And mom and dad were both snuggled in one chair
Watching wrapping paper flying everywhere
So this year at Yuletide, here's how we'll do it
We'll put up one Christmas tree
Then gather 'round it, sing hallelujah
Peace on earth and to our family
And to our family
Peace on earth to our family
Peace on earth and to our family
