Help me remember the name of this christmas song?

It was just called "The Christmas tree that ran away" and it was my favourite all time christmas song.

From memory, at the start of the song, the tree lives in a rich persons home who has decided that he is too small and shabby looking, and tells the staff to throw it out. The tree overhears it and runs away (hence)

Chorus:

Nobody loves me and tomorrow's Christmas Day

Nobody needs me for the Christmas holiday

Nobody wants me and I have no place to stay

Nobody loves me...I'm gonna run away

Then he trudges about in the snow ,cold and lonely for a while until he comes to a little house. He then looks in a window, and the verse goes something like...

Through the window he could see

little Tommy's sleepy head,

and he heard Tommy praying

before he climbed in bed.

We don't have many presents, Lord

but maybe you could see,

some way of getting us

just a little christmas tree.

Can't remember what goes next...but he sneaks inside while tommy is sleeping and when tommy wakes up he finds that his wish has been granted....and the lyrics go:

"It's a miracle!" they shouted,

and he knew it was true

cause he had found a home

and a loving family too.

Somebody loves me

and today is Christmas Day

Somebody needs me

for the happy holiday

Somebody wants me

and I have a place to stay

Somebody loves me

I'll never run away!

Just found something that might be of interest to you...

There is a website that will make a CD of it for you and send it to you. Website is: http://www.recordtimenow.com/christmascdspecial.ht...

It's not much use to me in Australia, because it would be dreadfully expensive to get it here...so please let me know if you manage to track down the lyrics or somewhere I can get it from. Have Fun!!

oh tannenbaum in german or oh christmas tree english. the superb wide-unfold version exchange into written in 1824 by a Leipzig organist and instructor named Ernst Anschütz. The melody is an old human beings music. the 1st wide-unfold "Tannenbaum" music lyrics date decrease back to 1550.
