Once upon a time in Bethlehem A shepherd there was witnessing God's plan Mary was in labor in a stable forlorn There inside the humble shed, the son of God was born A million stars are snowing down from heaven Illuminate the night for all to see The magic fills the air, Christmastime is here I wish that you could spend it here with me The story of the cold December night Brings the world together in delight There, before the shepherd's eyes, a miracle took place From the poor, a child was born, blessed by heaven's grace A million stars are snowing down from heaven Illuminate the night for all to see The magic fills the air, Christmastime is here I wish that you could spend it here with me So many years have come and gone since the story came to pass Behold, the gift of Christmas will forever last A million stars are snowing down from heaven Illuminate the night for all to see The magic fills the air, Christmastime is here I wish that you could spend it here with me A million stars are snowing down from heaven Illuminate the night for all to see The magic fills the air, Christmastime is here I wish that you could spend it here with me I wish that you could spend it here with me
