Lyrics
THE CHRISTMAS TREE ON SALEM STREET
There's a Christmas tree on Salem Street
in the window for all to see
Decorated and all lit up
An angel flying high above
CHORUS
There's something special about
the Christmas tree in a midwest house
Every gift is wrapped
With a name attached
Standin' proud and tall
For the one who gave his all
People come for miles to see
the Christmas Tree on Salem Street
You can walk by any Summer night
The only house with a tree so bright
Ornaments hung with love so true
Include a pair of baby shoes
CHORUS
In this small country town
You find out if you ask around
Their waitin' for an only son
Gone MIA________ in seventy-one
CHORUS
There's a Christmas tree on Salem Street
