The Naked Tree

The Naked Tree

you used to hang a shiny star
atop my Christmas tree
you used to bake the cookies
that were quite a dellicasie

you used to wrap my present
in a shiny golden foil
darned it with a great big bow
and ribbon in a coil

you used to be the reason
that my Christmas was so grand
but your no longer with us
and I just don't understand

how I could hang a shiny star
atop my Christmas tree
when all I want for Christmas
is to have you here with me
