My true love sits in a forest glade    In the springtime's golden light    The flowers, they dance in the gentle breeze    And the warm sun shines so bright    And of all the flowers in the forest    And all trees that do abound    The ones that please my heart the most    Are green the whole year 'round       Green the whole year 'round,    Green the whole year 'round,    The holly yew and the ivy tree    Are green the whole year 'round       When summer comes and the days are hot    And the birds are full of song    In the quiet shade of that leafy glade    That is where my heart belongs    For I know whenever I look for you    That is where you can be found    As you take your ease 'neath your favorite trees    That are green the whole year 'round       Green the whole year 'round,    Green the whole year 'round,    The holly yew and the ivy tree    Are green the whole year 'round       But the summer fades and the days grow short    And the autumn winds they blow    And the leaves of gold come tumbling down    To the forest far below    Memories of other days come tumbling from the past    To remind us, like the seasons do    That life goes by so fast    The winter lays her fingers cold    On dark and lonely nights    But Christmas it will soon be here    To usher in the light    And when morning breaks and the bells ring out    It is such a joyous sound    To hear them echo in the trees    That are green the whole year 'round       Green the whole year 'round,    Green the whole year 'round,    The holly yew and the ivy tree    Are green the whole year 'round       Green the whole year 'round,    Green the whole year 'round,    The holly yew and the ivy tree    Are green the whole year 'round       Green the whole year 'round,    Green the whole year 'round,    The holly yew and the ivy tree    Are green the whole year 'round
