The Band - Christmas Must Be Tonight (Alternate Version) lyrics

Come down to the manger, see the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace And the wheels start turnin', torches start burnin' And the old wise men journey from the east How a little baby boy Bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight Well a shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide Oh a cold winter night a band of angels singin' In a dream I heard a voice, sayin', "Fear not, come rejoice" It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king" How a little baby boy Bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight I saw it with my own eyes, it was written up in the skies But why a simple herdsmen such as I? Then it came to pa**, he was born at last Right below the star that shines on bright How a little baby boy Bring the people so much joy Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight Be tonight, be tonight
