Verse 1
Once upon a time In a far off land
Wise men saw a sign And set out 'cross the sand
Songs of praise to sing They travelled day and night
Precious gifts to bring Guided by the light.
Verse 2
They chased a brand new star Ever towards the west
Across the mountains far But when it came to rest
They scarce believed their eyes They'd come so many miles
The miracle they prized Was nothing but a child
Chorus
Nothing but a child Could wash those tears away
Or guide a weary world Into the light of day
Nothing but a child Could help erase those miles
So once again we all Can be children for a while.
Verse 3
Now all around the world In every little town
Every day is heard A precious little sound
And every mother kind And every father, proud
Looks down in awe to find Another chance allowed
Chorus
Nothing but a child Could wash those tears away
Or guide a weary world Into the light of day
Nothing but a child Could help erase those miles
So once again we all Can be children for a while.

Nothing but a little baby
