Then the smiling face of Mary
The moment that you cried
Every poet and every king
Said he found the place that his heart was dreaming of
The day that love began
He broke his promise to a star above
The day that love began, began
And he made a promise to a star above
Made a promise to a star above
The day that love began
To find the place his heart was dreaming of
That peace could come to any man
The day that love began
Once upon a Christmas Eve, a shepherd who believed
Found the place his heart was dreaming of
They came from valleys and from streams
"I will give to him my lamb, a shepherd's all I am"
And one little shepherd with a dream
As the shepherd knelt to pray, his lamb just ran away
And tear drops filled his lonely hand
Beckoned the shepherd to her side
Over meadows, over mountains
And so he walked the lonely sand
Today you gave Him the best gift of all
