O FIR TREE DARK
(Ken Darby)

as recorded by
Bing Crosby & The Ken Darby Singers
With Victor Young & his Orchestra
March 28th 1947


O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
I wander through the silent night,
And feel thy fragrance in the air,
And see thy branches robed in white.

O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
How blessed is our Christmas tide.
So strong the charm that holds me here,
In truth, I scarce can leave thy side.

The twinkling lights that deck thy boughs
Enchant me with their shining spell,
And in a language all their own
The lovely Christmas story tells.

O fir tree dark, o fir tree dear,
I feel the wings of angels near!
