Hi! I found the following song with similar lyrics:

Title: Little Christmas Tree


I watch the snow flakes fall
Against my window pane
And wonder if you
Are watching snow flakes too

I take a walk downtown
To where you used to meet me
Theres joy everywhere
But all thats waiting there

Is just a little Christmas tree
Lookin sorta sad n lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve

I hear the Christmas bell
The happy people singing
The songs of good cheer
That only brings me tears

I sadly close my eyes
And say a little prayer
You'll be waiting there for me
I look but all I see

Is just a little Christmas tree
Lookin sorta sad n lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away and left it standing there
All alone on Christmas eve

This is the season of love
But I'm as sad as I can be
Why did you have to leave me

Oh little Christmas tree
Lookin sorta sad n lonely just like me
Noone seems to care
They just went away
And left it standing there
All alone on Christmas Eve

I think i've managed to find it
Its "The christmas tree that ran away" - The caroleers
There is a free download HERE If you're interested Just scroll down the page to "santa clause is coming to town by The caroleers"

Hope this is of some help

Mumbles, this is Penny's boyfriend...she wanted you to know how much she appreciates your effort...you found it She's been looking for it for years, and it means an awful lot to her to hear that song again. You made her very very happy. Thank you so very much!

Awww thank you, glad i could help

He was just a tiny tree, kind of scrawny, kind of thin
In that great big house, didn’t seem to fit in
And Christmas Eve, He heard the mistress of that big old house say
That little tree is ugly get a new one right away

Nobody wants me and tomorrow’s Christmas day
Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday
Nobody loves me and I have no place to stay
Nobody wants me
I’m gonna run away

The old wind whistled and it howled
As he trudged thru the snow
With ornaments and icicles a glow
Past factories and houses and the old sawmill
When suddenly he saw a little cabin on the hill

Nobody wants me and tomorrow’s Christmas day
Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday
Nobody loves me and I have no place to stay
Nobody wants me
I’m gonna run away

Thru the window he could see little Tommy’s curly head
And he heard Tommy praying before he got in bed
We don’t expect presents God but maybe you could see
Someway of getting us just a little Christmas tree


The little gift-laden tree crept inside late that night
And next morning he was greeted with squeals of delight
It’s a miracle they shouted and he knew it was true
For he had found a home and a loving family too

Somebody wants me and today is Christmas day
Somebody needs me, what a happy holiday
Somebody loves me and I have a place to stay
Somebody wants me
And I’ll never run away

I have tried and tried to find the lyrics to this song I used to sing this to my 3 brothers when they were young I was suprised when they all remembered some of it lol Now this christmas I will sing it to them again46 years later thank you so much

OMG!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I have posted this same question on a different site and years later I'm still looking for the answer until tonight!!! This has bugged me for years! Thank you again for figuring it out for us!

I have searched for this song for YEARS on the internet. I would sit in my room for hours singing along with this whole album. I just wanted to share a website that I just found tonight that can provide the entire LP on a CD. Do you remember the one, "364 Days in a Year," "10,000 Santa Clauses but Not One Gift for Me"? Anyway, the website is www.recordtimenow.com
I totally understand everyone's feeling on this thread, it brought tears to my eyes when I finally figured the right title and found a way to share these songs with my kids. Merry Christmas.

Wow OMG this was my favorite christmas record (vinyl record) as a kid. My mother used to play this record for me and my sisters every christmas season. My sister secretly found the record online last year and dubbed CDs for all of us. It was the best gift ever. I was about 6 the last time I had heard it I am 26 now and still remembered ever word. I could not wait to play it for my kids this year. I played it in the car on my way to work this morning for the first time this season and it brought tears to eyes. I am so happy to be able to continue the tradition. Its amazing to see how sentimental this record is to other people as well.
