And it .. came to pass on a Christmas evening
2m7 1 2 3. While all the doors were .. shuttered tight
6m 5 4 1.. Outside standing, .. lonely boy-child
.. Cold and shivering .. in the night
.. On the street, .. every window
2m7 1 2 3. Save but one, was .. gleaming bright
6m 5 4 1And to this window .. walked the boychild
.. Peeking in saw, .. candle light
Through other windows he had looked at turkeys
2m7 1 2 3. Ducks and geese, .. cherry pies
6m 5 4 1But through this window saw a grey-haired lady
.. Table bare and .. tears in her eyes
Into his coat reached the boy-child
Knowing well there was litle there
He took from his pocket, his own Christmas dinner
A bit of cheese, some bread ... to share
His outstretched hands held the food and they trembled
As the door, it opened wide
Said he, Would you share with me Christmas dinner
Gently said she, Come inside
The grey-haired lady brought forth to the table
Glasses two and her last drop of wine
Said she, Here's a toast to everyone's Christmas
and especially, ... yours and mine
And it came to pass on that Christmas evening
While all the doors were shuttered tight
That in that town, the happiest Christmas
Was shared by ... candle light
