Elvis Presley Holly Leaves and Christmas Trees Takes 4 and 8
Written by Red West and Glen Spreen. Elvis recorded it May 15, 1971 at RCA's Nashville studios.
This is take 4, which is available on FTD-I Sing All Kinds, and take 8, which is available on If Every Day Was Like Christmas.

Somewhere in, in the distant night
I hear Christmas bells
The gentle snow keeps falling down on people
Who are homeward bound
That's the way it's always been
The circle never really ends
Christmas seems to come and go
Home's a place that I don't know

Holly leaves and Christmas trees
It's that time of the year
Lights aglow and mistletoe
Don't mean a thing if you're not here

As I walk, walk this lonely street
The sound of snow beneath my feet
I think of how, how it used to be
When Holly leaves and Christmas trees
Used to mean so much to me


Somewhere in, in the distant night
I hear Christmas bells
The gentle snow keeps falling down on people
Who are homeward bound
That's the way it's always been
The circle never really ends
Christmas seems to come and go
Home's a place that I don't know

Holly leaves and Christmas trees
It's that time of the year
Lights aglow and mistletoe
Don't mean a thing when you're not here

As I walk this lonely street
The sound of snow beneath my feet
I think of how, how it used to be
When Holly leaves and Christmas trees
Used to mean so much to me

  • The more takes of Elvis you hear, the more you understand his singing genius.

  • Beautiful song by a beautiful man

  • Greetings from Wes and Christine. Replacing an expired video on post #89 on WES BRYAN - MY LIFE IN MUSIC with this one. We've been in touch before!

  • Just enjoyed this many times. I lost my mom to cancer 12/6/98 at the age of 59.

     I noticed you made this on 12/6/08 . Ten years to the day, Elvis does all the good to a song that is possible. The Greatest! Thank You!
