(D)Unravelling (A) fairy-lights for the Christmas (D)tree
On dark (A) frosty nights, do you remember how (D) we
Kept
(G)our patience up in tangled (D) wire
Until the (A) tree lit up and you glowed like the (D) fire?
(G)We’ve not
(D) forgotten it was (A) your sure (D) hand
(G)That freed the (D) knots of the most (A) ravelled strands.
Now you are seventeen, moving away,
Still in your tangled teens, what can we say?
We believe in you and we’ve
no doubt
That all you are going through, you will work out.
We’ve not forgotten it was your sure hand
That
freed the knots of the most ravelled strands.
Out in this twisting world when you’re confused
Think of the little girl who used
Ingenuity and care
To make a Christmas tree flare.
We’ve not forgotten it was your sure hand
That freed the knots of the most
ravelled strands.
