VERSE 1
As shepherds watched
Their flocks by night
In the darkest sky
Shone the brightest light
People came from near and far
And gathered beneath
The Heavenly Star

VERSE 2
There wasn't any room
At the inn
For the man and woman
And child within
So they made their way
To a humble stable
And used a manger
As a makeshift cradle

PRE CHORUS
Glory,Glory
That's how the story goes
(Glory,Glory the old,old story)
The old,old story
That everybody knows

CHORUS
Now I give to you
And you give to me
Exquisite gifts
Beneath the Christmas Tree
We have no money
What-so-ever
Been Christmas Shopping
On the never-never
Spinning around
To familiar sounds
Over-indulging
Piling on the pounds
Come on in
Enjoy the Christmas Party
But spare a thought
For the broken hearted

I n s t r u m e n t a l

VERSE 3
As shepherds watch
Their flocks tonight
In the darkest sky
Shines the brightest light
Everyone from near and far
Let’s gather beneath
The heavenly star

VERSE 4
There was no room
At the inn
For the man and woman
And child within
Now we're all singing
In celebration
For the Boy
Who was God's Creation

PRE CHORUS
Glory,Glory
That's how the story goes
(Glory,Glory the old,old story)
The old,old story
That everybody knows

CHORUS
Now I give to you
And you give to me
Exquisite gifts
Beneath the Christmas Tree
We have no money
What-so-ever
Been Christmas Shopping
On the never-never
Spinning around
To familiar sounds
Over-indulging
Piling on the pounds
Everyone have fun, enjoy
(It’s Christmas)
But don’t forget about
The Birthday Boy
(Merry Christmas)
Don’t forget about
The Birthday Boy

Instrumental/Ad lib

STORY BEHIND THE SONG
This song needs no explanation! Lyrically, it's a traditional/modern mix.
We tend to forget about the real meaning of Christmas - it's all about buying presents, maxing the credit cards, and generally overindulging!
