Don't Forget the Star

Little boy, six years old, sitting on his Grandpa's knee Little did he know it way back then But he was making Christmas memories Grandpa asked that little boy "What does Christmas really mean to you?" And the boy talked of snow And stockings and toys, all shiny and new Grandpa laughed and shook his head and said "Let me tell you what it means to me" And he held that little boy close As he pointed to the top of the Christmas tree he said Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The one who came to shine away the dark Bringing hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star Don't forget the star Little boys grow up too fast And those memories, they sure do fade And that Christmas Eve with Grandpa Seems about a million miles away These days the bills are piling up And the world is weighing down He's got a little girl of his own And he knows grown men don't cry But as that girl looks in his eyes He remembers his Grandpa's song Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The one who came to shine away the dark Bringing hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star It was shining bright in the eastern sky Above a manger, two thousand years ago And it fills my heart with joy To realize that star's still guiding lost souls home And I think about Grandpa as I raise my daughter high And she hangs a star upon the tree And a tear comes to my eye as I think about the way that Jesus was born for you and me Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The one who came to shine away the dark Bringing hope for every heart, no, no Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The one who came to shine away the dark Bringing hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star Don't forget the star Little boy, six years old, sitting on his Grandpa's knee
