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

Nothing but a child
