Underneath the Tree

Kelly Clarkson

You’re here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn’t the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents, what a beautiful sight

Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight

You’re all that I need

Underneath the tree

Tonight

I’m gonna hold you close

Make sure that you know

I was lost before you

Christmas was cold and gray

Another holiday alone to celebrate

But then one day everything changed

You’re all I need

Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn’t the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents, what a

beautiful sight

Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight

You’re all that I need

Underneath the tree

I found what I was looking for

A love that’s meant for me

A heart that’s mine completely

Knocked me right off my feet

And this year I will fall

With no worries at all

’Cause you are near and everything’s clear

You’re all I need

Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn’t the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents, what a beautiful sight

Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight

You’re all that I need

Underneath the tree

And then one day everything changed

You’re all I need

Underneath the tree

You’re here where you should be

Snow is falling as the carolers sing

It just wasn’t the same

Alone on Christmas day

Presents (oh, you’re all I need), what a beautiful sight

Don’t mean a thing if you ain’t holding me tight

(Underneath the tree)

You’re all that I need

(Underneath the tree)

Underneath the tree

Tonight

(Oh you’re all I need)

(Underneath)

(Underneath the tree)

Background

In the pantheon of modern Christmas songs, Kelly Clarkson’s “Underneath the Tree” stands toe-to-toe with Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s “You Make It Feel Like Christmas” as one of the best. Released in 2013 as the lead single from “Wrapped in Red,” it is positively bursting with good cheer. Cute, feel-good and very festive, it has become one of those Xmas songs that reemerges every December.
