Song information
Watching 'Stranger Things' one evening.
Found inspiration in the title of the show.
Combined a couple public domain poems with my lyrics.

Me and the Blueridge Tenor T40

As always, thank you for your time.

Lyrics
A million little diamonds 
Twinkled on the trees; 
And all the little children cried, 
"A Jewell, if you please!" 
But while they held their hands outstretched 
To catch the diamonds bright, 
A million little sunbeams came 
And stole them from their sight. 
Strange things

Little pine tree in the wood
wished for leaves of gold.
In the night it fell asleep
The fairies made it so.
A (little) man saw the leaves of gold
And picked off every one
The little tree now had no leaves
Not a single one.
 
Strange things
Strange brew
Stranger things have happened
Both to me and you

Now the tree said please oh please
give me leaves of glass
the fairy came again that night
and granted what was asked

a storm came up 
the wind blew hard
branches swayed in the dark
breaking every leaf of glass
Shattered pieces in the grass

Strange things
Strange brew
Stranger things have happened
Both to me and you

In after solo to verse 
Now the tree said please oh please
give me leaves of glass
the fairy came again that night
and granted what was asked

a storm came up 
the wind blew hard
branches swayed in the dark
breaking every leaf of glass
Shattered pieces in the grass


Strange things
Strange brew
Stranger things have happened
Both to me and you

Chorus 
Strange things
Strange things
Stranger things have happened to me and you

The little tree unhappy now
Unhappy more each day
It asked the fairy for one more wish
His pain to go away
The fairy waved his hand up high
The little tree held fast
Long and slender needle
Returned to him at last
Strange things
Strange brew  
Stranger things have happened to me and you

Beautiful. Something about it is also a bit haunting, but it's hard to explain why.
