Under the Pine


My favorite place in the world is under the open sky
I first saw this tall tree when I was only two feet high
In the summer it was green and shady, in the winter snowy white
Dark days of December it would shine with starry light

chorus
Under the Pine where the snow falls down at Christmas time
If love is blind, I'll be blinded by this love for all time
Under the Pine

Two kids we played together, brown needles on the ground
See who could climb the highest in a game of lost and found
Like brother and sister, like two spirits in the night
A bond that can't be broken come what may come what might

chorus

Side by side we laid down. pine boughs high above
Gazed at the sky in wonder, talked of family god and love
Valentine's we carved our initials in that tree
A solemn ceremony for all the world to see
