The Band — Christmas Must Be Tonight

[Verse 1] Come down to the manger See the little stranger Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace The wheels start turning Torches start burning And the old wise men journey from the East [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] A shepherd on a hillside Where over my flock I bide Oh a cold winter night a band of angels sing In a dream I heard a voice Say, "Fear not, come rejoice It's the end of the beginning, praise the newborn king" [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] I saw it with my own eyes Written up in the sky But why a simple herdsmen such as I? And then it came to pass He was born at last Right below the star that shines on high [Chorus] 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 Son of a carpenter Mary carried the light This must be Christmas, must be tonight [Outro] Be tonight Be tonight Be tonight Be tonight Be tonight Be tonight Be tonight
