C                    Dm          G
Long years ago, on a deep winter night.
Am      E   Am         F          E
High in the heavens, a star shone bright.
Dm           Dm        Em       Em
While in the manger, a wee baby lay.
F                    C   F  C
Sweetly asleep, on a bed of hay.

[Verse]
C                        Dm      G
Jesus our lord, was that baby so small.
Am       E  Am          F      E
Lay down to sleep, in a humble stall.
Dm            Dm           Em         Em
Then came the star, and it stood over head.
F                              C  F    C
Shedding its light, 'round his li-ttle head.

[Verse]
C                    Dm        G
Dear baby Jesus, how tiny thou art.
Am        E Am         F          E
I'll make a place, for thee in my heart.
Dm           Dm            Em        Em
And when the stars, in the heavens I see.
F                    C     F  C
Ever and always, I'd think of thee...
