Lyrics
Once Upon a Winters Night, under heaven's starry light,
Joseph with her in her plight, Mary was forlorn.
Found a stable there to stay, and a manger filled with hay.
Just before the break of day, Mary's child was born.
Wise men traveled from afar, guided by a shining star.
Melchiorre and Balthazar, to that special boy.
Gifts of spice and gold they bring to the newborn baby king,
All among them marveling, filled with wondrous joy.
Once Upon a Winters Night, 'neath that special star so bright,
Born to us a Prince of Light, on that winter's night.
Through the years we've come to see how the man he came to be
Saved us.. for eternity, on that winter's night.
Once Upon a Winters Night, 'neath that special star so bright,
Born to us a Prince of Light, on that winter's night.
