Once upon a christmas eve
|
a shepherd who believed
|
that peace could come to any man
|
made a promise to the star above
|
the day that love began
|
|
I will give to him my lamb
|
a shepherds all i am
|
and so he walked the lonely sand
|
to find the place his heart was dreaming of
|
the day that love began
|
|
Over meadows over mountains
|
they came from valleys and from streams
|
every poet and every king
|
and one little shepherd with a dream
|
|
But as the shepherd knelt to pray
|
his lamb just ran away
|
and tear drops filled his empty hand
|
he broke his promise to the star above
|
the day that love began
|
|
Then the smiling face of mary
|
beckoned the shepherd to her side
|
today you gave him the best gift of all
|
the moment that you cried
|
|
Once upon a christmas eve
|
a shepherd who believed
|
that peace could come to any man
|
found the place his heart was dreaming of
|
and he kept his promise to the star above
|
The day that love began
|
|
Woo...
