Calling It Christmas [Radio Edit]
On a hill long ago
On a cold winter's night
In a land far away
Three kings saw a light
And from heaven it shone
Like God's
God's own crown
And it guided three kings
Into Bethlehem town
Oh they came bearing gifts
And so said each one
Let's call this day Christmas
From this moment on
We'll be calling it Christmas
In, in honour of him
The child in the manger
Our saviour and king
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day
(We've been calling it) we've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years (down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here (is here)
Oh a simple belief
Was the start of it all
A small child asleep (child asleep)
On a bed made of straw
At the back of an inn
Where, where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy that
This moment would bring
(We've been calling it) we've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day
(We've been calling it) we've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years (down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas (when Christmas) is here (is here)
We've been calling it Christmas (oh baby)
Down through the years (down through, down through)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here (Christmas is here)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas, ooh
Is here (is here)
