The sky was all darkness; I could see no star
No lightning, no thunder, the sky seemed so far
At once I heard voices around me that prayed
It was a star that said
Listen! Hurry, now
For this is the night you know somehow
Come and follow fast
For this night will not long last
The sky grew brighter, I wished to flee
In chorus the stars sang and called upon me
The lightest of all sounded gently and bright
Come near! It's Christmas night
Listen! Hurry, now
For this is the night you know somehow
Come and follow fast
For this night will not long last
Come and follow me
Another night like this you'll never see
Everyone shall know
How Christmas came to grow
I sang and agreed with the stars all along
Each Christmas I go back to where I belong
Once I was there, 't was a foregone fact
Each year I must go back
Come, be quick, now, run
For this night is never to return
Listen carefully
To how Christmas came to be
Come, be quick, now, run
For this night is never to return
Listen carefully
To how Christmas came to be
Come, be quick, now, run
For this night is never to return
Listen carefully
To how Christmas came to be
