On A Christmas Night - Chris De Burgh

I was awakened on a Christmas night

Somebody shaking me and shining a light

«Wake up the winter is here

And snow is falling on the ground»

Out of the window ‘twas a magic sight

And for a little boy it was a magic night

My friends were playing outside

And snow was tumbling on the ground

And we saw a thousand candles in the night

Moving to the church upon the hill

When the people saw us they said «come inside»

And the song that night they sing it still

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the life of a child

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the life of a child

Who came to the world on this night

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the life of a child

Who came to the world, to the world

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child

Who came to the world

We are here to celebrate the life of a child

Who gave to the world

His love

I was awakened on a Christmas night…
