(michael p. heeney, david scarlett) |
|
The kids were up before dawn this morning |
|
Right to the christmas tree they ran |
|
Called up the stairs for us to hurry |
|
Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand |
|
While trading presents the little one asks me |
|
Why do we have christmas each year |
|
I said long ago a child was born this day |
|
He's a gift more precious then all you see here |
|
Chorus: |
|
Cause on this day |
|
A child was born |
|
In the town of bethlehem |
|
And on this day |
|
God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill |
|
To all men |
|
Oh on this day we call christmas |
|
We honor his name |
|
On this day |
|
We recall all the reasons he came |
|
On this day |
|
On this day |
|
Grandma and grandpa arrived after breakfast |
|
The rest of the gang by noon |
|
We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys |
|
Helping out in the kitchen |
|
Catching up on old news |
|
When the dinner bell rang |
|
We all took our places |
|
Grandpa said who wants to say grace |
|
Before anyone else could utter a word |
|
Oh the little one bowed her head |
|
And she started to say |
|
Repeat chorus |
|
Oh on this day we call christmas |
|
We honor his name |
|
On this day |
|
We recall all the reasons he came |
|
On this day |
|
On this day |
