I lay on the hillside that winter's night and watched all the stars go by I saw up above me a wondrous sight, a new star was filling the sky I thought that I must have been dreaming, I knew that it just couldn't be A star that I never had seen before was shining its light on me A star that I never had seen before was shining its light on me The darkness was fading, the sky was bright and music was filling the air I saw there before me a wondrous sight, the angels were everywhere I thought that I must have been dreaming, I knew that it just couldn't be The angels from heaven were all around and shining their light on me The angels from heaven were all around and shining their light on me I followed the star to Bethlehem and came to a stable there A mother was laying her newborn child to sleep in a manger bare I thought that I must have been dreaming, I knew that it just couldn't be The child who was born in Bethlehem was shining his light on me The child who was born in Bethlehem was shining his light on me Was shining his light on me
