I Know Why There's Christmas Songtext
von Tom Paxton

I know why there′s Christmas, would you like to know?
Something wonderful happened here, many years ago
In the town of Bethlehem, on one frosty morn'
In a manger where He lay, Jesus Christ was born

Shepherds watching flocks by night saw a heavenly light
All the sky was bright and they were frightened at the sight
Then the angel said to them, in a voice so mild
"Follow us to Bethlehem, come and see the child"

I know why there′s Christmas, would you like to know?
Something wonderful happened here, many years ago
In the town of Bethlehem, on one frosty morn'
In a manger where He lay, Jesus Christ was born


All the skies were filled with song, at the royal birth
Singing, "Peace to everyone, peace to all on Earth"
Unto us, a child is born, hear the angels sing
"Come with us to Bethlehem, come and see the King"

I know why there's Christmas, would you like to know?
Something wonderful happened here, many years ago
In the town of Bethlehem, on one frosty morn′
In a manger where He lay, Jesus Christ was born

Shepherds came to Bethlehem, to the stabled hut
In a manger, they could feel peace forever more
Angels watch were keeping eye, on this holy day
Where the child was sleeping, in His bed of hay

So, i know why there′s Christmas, would you like to know?
Something wonderful happened here, many years ago
In the town of Bethlehem, on one frosty morn'
In a manger where He lay, Jesus Christ was born

In a manger where He lay, Jesus Christ was born
