MY CHRISTMAS TREE As recorded by The Temptations (From the 1970 Album CHRISTMAS CARD) [Intro] N.C. [Verse 1] There’s a Christmas tree in a window frame Just inside my door But my Christmas tree doesn’t look the same As it always has before There’s just one lonely present Beneath my Christmas tree ’Cause the best little present a guy could have Has gone away from me [Verse 2] Oh my Christmas tree isn’t very big In fact it’s kind of small Oh it’s funny when she’d pick them out They’d always seem so tall The light doesn’t seem so bright this year It’s hard for me to see The smile that made my Christmas right Has gone away from me [Bridge] I have been so lonely Since you left me all alone All Iii want for Christmas Is my baby my baby back home [Verse 3] Oh my Christmas tree is so sad and bare My room so big and cold Oh they wish me Happy New Year But the new year’s already old There’s no no little angel On top where she used to be ’Cause the angel that made my Christmas right Has gone away from me [Outro] ’Cause the angel that made my Christmas right Has gone away from me ’Cause the angel that made my Christmas right Has gone away from me

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque la mélancolie d’un homme qui, durant la période de Noël, se sent profondément seul. Il décrit un sapin de Noël qui ne rayonne plus de la même façon qu'avant, accentuant son chagrin face à l'absence d'une personne qui apportait joie et bonheur à sa vie. Les décorations et les présents semblent ternes et dénués de sens sans cette présence aimée. À travers ses souvenirs, il se rend compte que ce qui rendait Noël spécial pour lui a disparu, et tout ce qu'il désire, c'est retrouver celle qui illuminait ses jours de fête. C’est un rappel poignant que Noël, c'est aussi une période où l'on ressent les absences et la solitude.
