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
