| 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 |
