One Christmas Tree - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band

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
