Under the tree Under the tree I've stashed a secret I can barely keep You gave me the idea five months ago A passing remark on a summer's day A chance to set your inner child aglow I bought it and hid it away Under the tree Under the tree There's a present I wrapped all discreet I tucked it to the side but I can't wait for the surprise Only I know, only I know The future joy it holds All through the autumn I had to wait A secret smoldering in hidden smiles More than once I almost gave the surprise away Now it's just another present in the pile Under the tree Under the tree There's a special gift for you from me I tucked it to the side but I can't wait for the surprise Only I know, only I know The tender joy it holds There may be bigger presents around Artistic paper with ribbons bound But no matter how impressively heavy they seem No others hold a sliver of your dreams Under the tree Under the tree There's a present I'm not sure you've seen I tucked it to the side but I can't wait for the surprise Only I know, only I know The secret joy it holds
