chorus (traditional)

I like to paint the picture
in my mind
The picture of a baby
a baby in a manger
This is the season when I think
about it all of the time
It was the middle of the nigh
The year was zero A.D.
And that was the day that my Savior came to rescue me
And I like to think about that...

There was a baby
A manger
A mother too
And a brand new daddy
Who's not sure what to do
Ther were some shepards
A star, and wise me far away
If you asked them what
that night was like
This is what they'd say...
