Story Behind The Song
We were booked for a Christmas Party at a Pocono Resort, but it was cancelled and no one thought to call the performers. Since we drove an hour and a half to get there and it was snowing, we sat in front a beautiful, large fireplace and wrote this song.

Lyrics
Chorus:Happy Birthday Jesus, You came to bring us love, Happy Birthday Jesus, We wish you more disciples to listen to your word.
You came into this world, it was so very long ago;
God sent you down to earth on that bleak, dark night;
You brightened up that night when all your love shone around;
Sweet innocence of a baby child warmed the skies all about.
Chorus
Your love is brighter than the star that shone that night;
It reaches in our hearts and souls if we'll only let in shine;
And with your birth you brought us peace, God's promise to new life;
Let every day be Christmas with the love that you brought.
Chorus
