Reba Mcentire - On This Day lyrics

(michael p. heeney, david scarlett) The kids were up before dawn this morning Right to the christmas tree they ran Called up the stairs for us to hurry Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand While trading presents the little one asks me Why do we have christmas each year I said long ago a child was born this day He's a gift more precious then all you see here Chorus: Cause on this day A child was born In the town of bethlehem And on this day God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill To all men Oh on this day we call christmas We honor his name On this day We recall all the reasons he came On this day On this day Grandma and grandpa arrived after breakfast The rest of the gang by noon We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys Helping out in the kitchen Catching up on old news When the dinner bell rang We all took our places Grandpa said who wants to say grace Before anyone else could utter a word Oh the little one bowed her head And she started to say Repeat chorus Oh on this day we call christmas We honor his name On this day We recall all the reasons he came On this day On this day
