about
First track from Owl Hat Studio. December 2012. My musical Christmas card to you.
lyrics
Starlight and Mistletoe, Firelight set all aglow,
Joy fills my heart, I know, on this Christmas Eve.
Tales by the Christmas Tree, Songs of divinity,
My friends and family are here by my side.
Chorus
Why do the stars shine so bright?
Here on this cold, cold winters night.
Why do the children's eyes sparkle and shine?
is it because of one tiny child?
Shepherds and wise men too, they all saw the child who;
was sent down to me and you, from father above.
Mary, she saw the light of her baby child that night.
and pondered the precious sight with her mother's love.
Chorus
Giving a gift or two, to those who have less than you,
is something he'd want us to, each day of the year.
His hope for humanity was that we in charity,
would give our love willingly to those who have need.
Chorus II
That's why the stars shine so bright.
Here on this cold, cold Christmas night.
That's why your children's eye sparkle and shine.
It is because of one tiny child.
