the red man says hello

the red man says hello
the green tree says i'm here
all grown-ups are sleeping
only the children hear

decorations are delighted
presents hug the floor
the room in its festive hat
hides behind the door

through the glittering day
two worlds split the one
grown-ups lose their tempers
children have the fun

the red man says goodbye
the green tree says next year
grown ups are exhausted
only the children hear
