Chorus

]

Close your eyes December Child

 And dream a while my little son and moon

May the stars be your crown

 And may the earth guide you round and round

Snuggle up and let me hold kiss

  sus

Your baby breath in the dark and cold

On a silent night long ago

 Another mother held her babe and told him

Chorus

]

They had come such a long long way

Rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of

A little king and his bed of hay

It is remembered every Christmas day

Little one, little son

All my life I've wished you welcome

Chorus
