[Lyric] O Christmas Bush (Colin Buchanan)

[Verse 1]
She remembers how that Christmas bush
Planted from a cutting took
In that sunny little corner of the yard
It was touch-and-go for a year or two
But with love and care, bush pulled through
And every December, the blossoms come to life

[Chorus]
O Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Your beauty lights up summer
And ushers in this special time of year
O Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Every little flower
Is there to tell us Christmas time is here

[Verse 2]
Well, a little bush became a tree
And they became a family
The children played beneath her in the shade
The years slipped by, they grew to learn
The children grow, seasons turn
They cut a little blossom, and wait for Christmas morn
[Chorus]
O Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Your beauty lights up summer
And ushers in this special time of year
O Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Every little flower
Is there to tell us Christmas time is here
(La-da-da-da)
(La-da-da-da)
(La-da-da-da-da)

[Bridge]
Cicadas and a hot north breeze
New buds on the Christmas trees
Pink and orange set to burst
Across a sunburnt land
Ooh

[Chorus]
O Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Your beauty lights up summer
And ushers in this special time of year
Ooh Christmas bush, o Christmas bush
Every little flower
Is there to tell us Christmas time is here
Is there to tell us Christmas time is here (Ah-ah...)
Oooh...
