December Child

Close your eyes December Child And dream a while my little son and moon May the stars be your crown And may the earth guide you round and round Snuggle up and let me hold kiss Your baby breath in the dark and cold On a silent night long ago Another mother held her babe and told him Close your eyes December Child And dream a while my little son and moon May the stars be your crown And may the earth guide you round and round They had come such a long long way Rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of A little king and his bed of hay It is remembered every Christmas day Little one, little son All my life I've wished you welcome Close your eyes December Child And dream a while my little son and moon May the stars be your crown And may the earth guide you round and round
