Paroles
Heard my father's voice call from the drive On a cold December night And we all ran outside There stood the homeliest tree That you’d ever wanna see Looking barely alive He said "You grab the shovel, and you hold the light 'Cause I’ve brought an orphan home with me tonight" My father's tree was five feet tall And every leaf would struggle through the fall And in the spring be born anew The holly tree my father grew I used to ask why mother didn’t stay Hе'd take another drink and say "This drove hеr away I never could admit I drank too much It was an old, familiar crutch That I let go too late" And he'd point to the tree Saying "Take it from me Learn to stand on your own or you'll break" My father's tree was ten feet tall And every leaf would struggle through the fall And in the spring be born anew The holly tree my father grew And the green leaves, and the berries Shined like rubies in the snow And the memories last in those old photographs Just see how much we’ve grown My father's tree can reach the sky And every leaf does honor to his life Forever proud, forever true The holly tree my father grew
