Analysis of Leave the decorations on the Christmas tree
Heather Lydia Thornhill 1981 (Manchester)
Leave the decorations on the Christmas tree
Keep the logfire burning and the children full of glee
Let the crib keep blessings beaming unto me
And the Angel choruses playing on TV
Let's have Christmas leftovers and all the sweetest treats
Here's another present I bought so that we
Could celebrate together before again you have to leave
