A TREE IS JUST A TREE (That Beautiful Tree)

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me

But if you were a blue jay, that's not all you'd see

You'd look down on the leaves from way up in the air

And know your nest and family were waiting down there

In that tree

That beautiful tree

That tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me

But if you were a squirrel, that's not all you'd see

You'd gather up the acorns and hide them in a tree

And when the winter came around, you'd be glad to see

That tree

That beautiful tree

That tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me

But if you were a caterpillar, that's not all you'd see

You'd wrap a leaf around your cocoon to keep it dry

A little while later you'd emerge a butterfly

From that tree

That beautiful tree

That tree

Oh a tree is just a tree to you and me

But when the summer sun is hot that's not all you'd see

You'd gladly sit beneath it to cool down in its shade

And that's where you would have your picnic, drink some lemonade

Beneath that tree

That beautiful tree

That tree

"Ah, so cool beneath this tree... that beautiful, beautiful tree... maybe I should climb up and swing from the branches of this tree... oh, I love this beautiful tree."

" Thank you, Connie!"
