|
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 |
