On A Christmas Night Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I was awakened on a Christmas night 

Somebody shaking me and shining a light 

"Wake up the winter is here 

And snow is falling on the ground" 

Out of the window 'twas a magic sight 

And for a little boy it was a magic night 

My friends were playing outside 

And snow was tumbling on the ground 

And we saw a thousand candles in the night 

Moving to the church upon the hill 

When the people saw us they said "come inside" 

And the song that night they sing it still 

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child 

Who came to the world 

We are here to celebrate the life of a child 

Who came to the world 

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child 

Who came to the world 

We are here to celebrate the life of a child 

Who came to the world on this night 

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child 

Who came to the world 

We are here to celebrate the life of a child 

Who came to the world, to the world 

We are here to celebrate the birth of a child 

Who came to the world 

We are here to celebrate the life of a child 

Who gave to the world 

His love 

I was awakened on a Christmas night...
