Evergreen

There is a box in the attic We take it down each year And pass through generations, lights and souvenirs From the ones who came before us The reason why we're here Singing all these carols and spreading all this cheer Don't forget, never lose All the joy that's made for you So come on, girl, let's sit by the fire I wanna tell you a story about my mother How she would give up everything for her daughter's dreams Yeah, a mother's love is evergreen For all the weight she carries, she ain't tired I spend my whole life tryna be more like her So on every Christmas Eve I thank my family tree Yeah, a mother's love gave us everything Oh, a mother's love is evergreen There were hard times we struggled She'd never let me see Kept food on the table, and gifts under the tree Now that I'm a little older, it isn't lost on me The magic of tradition, and the memories we keep So don't forget, as time goes on All the joy is never gone So come on, boy, let's sit by the fire I wanna tell you a story about my mother How she would give up everything for her little boy's dreams Yeah, a mother's love is evergreen For all the weight she carries, she ain't tired I spend my whole life tryna be more like her So on every Christmas Eve I thank my family tree Yeah, a mother's love gave us everything Oh, a mother's love is evergreen La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-la-la-la-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da La-la-la-la-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da For all the weight she carries, she ain't tired I spend my whole life tryna be more like her So on every Christmas Eve We gather 'round the family tree Yeah, a mother's love gave us everything Oh, a mother's love is evergreen
