Lizzy Jane - christmas tree

Turned the page of the calendar
Thirty-one days of December
Less than half the days ive missed you
Dad put up the lights without your help
And I remember the time that you fell
You said you'd come to the ground too

But tonight I lay outside
Looking at those lights
And I'll see the blue one and sigh
I should think they're pretty but
All I can see is the blue that you kept in your eyes

The beauty is all around
But you're what Christmas is about

She put the cookies in the oven
Told me not to worry
'Cause the snow will stick tonight
That would be something
To distract me of
The very last fight
But I still recall the first snow of the year
Flakes falling down and no one could hear
The sound of your laughter contagious as is
But now the ground's white and I can't run in

Momma said to look at the sky When the clock hit midnight
To watch Santa pass by
I know she wasn't surprised
When she found me in the window crying
'Cause the stars I see were all in your eyes

The weather has come but it won't leave
No it won't do what you did to me

And every high and low
The chase the catch the fire the smoke
All crashed and burned
Never thought we'd have to learn
What it's like to let it leave
Something strong, something that sees you
If only you knew
Every stocking looks like it's for you
And my own perfume smells like you
And every corner of this house too
With every light and every Santa Claus
I see your smile and I see you talk
I'll fall to my knees

Oh baby you're my centerpiece
Yeah, you're my Christmas tree

And each ornament's a memory
Each light is a time
That you lit my heart on fire
And the flames still haven't died
And when I fall asleep tonight
When I wake up in the morning
I'll sit by the fire and sing
No one will know you're my Christmas tree
