About the Song
When the family gathers around the old pine tree, one ornament means more than all the rest — the cracked, crooked angel his father used to hang every Christmas Eve. Years later, that same angel still shines, carrying love, loss, and faith in her worn-out wings.
The Angel on Daddy’s Tree is a heartfelt country Christmas ballad about remembering those we’ve lost and the traditions that keep them close. With gentle guitar, warm fiddle, and tender vocals, it’s a story of love that never fades — even when the lights do.
Why It Matters
It reminds us that the people we love never really leave us; they just change how they shine.
Song Lyrics Xmas 2025 Song 2 The Angel on Daddy's Tree
Mama pulls the boxes down, same time every year,
The smell of pine and memories start filling up the air.
There’s tinsel, lights, and faded bows from Christmases long gone,
And one old angel wrapped in cloth — the one Dad hung so strong.
She’s the angel on Daddy’s tree,
Still shining bright for him and me.
Her wings are cracked, her halo’s bent,
But she’s worth more than heaven sent.
When the lights come on, I swear I see
A little piece of him lookin’ back at me —
Yeah, Christmas ain’t the same, but she helps me believe,
That love don’t die — it just shines on Daddy’s tree.
The years rolled by, I had my own, a tree of silver and gold,
But I still miss that old red barn and the stories Daddy told.
Tonight I’ll drive that snowy road, just me and silent stars,
And set that angel at the top, right where his memories are.
She’s the angel on Daddy’s tree,
Still shining bright for him and me.
Her wings are cracked, her halo’s bent,
But she’s worth more than heaven sent.
When the lights come on, I swear I see
A little piece of him lookin’ back at me —
Yeah, Christmas ain’t the same, but she helps me believe,
That love don’t die — it just shines on Daddy’s tree.
Some folks hang new ornaments,
But I hang on to what he meant.
A little faith, a little grace,
Still sittin’ in that angel’s face.
She’s the angel on Daddy’s tree,
Still watchin’ over family.
Through laughter, loss, and all we’ve been,
She keeps us close again.
When the lights come on, I swear I see
That same soft glow he left in me —
Yeah, Christmas ain’t the same, but she helps me believe,
That love don’t die — it just shines on Daddy’s tree.
