Song Lyrics

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me
But if you were a blue jay that’s not all you’d see
You’d look down on the leaves from way up in the air
And know your nest and family were waiting down there
In that tree, that beautiful tree, that tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me
But if you were a squirrel that’s not all you’d see
You’d gather up the acorns and hide them in a tree
And when the winter came around you’d be glad to see
That tree, that beautiful tree, that tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me
But if you were a caterpillar that’s not all you’d see
You’d wrap a leaf around your cocoon to keep it dry
A little while later you’d emerge a butterfly
From that tree, that beautiful tree, that tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me
But when the summer sun is hot that’s not all you’d see
You’d gladly sit beneath it to cool down in its shade
And that’s where you would have your picnic, drink some lemonade
Beneath that tree, that beautiful tree, that tree
