Elton John - Calling It Christmas lyrics

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 honor of him The child in the manger or savior and king We've been calling it Christmas, keeping the faith Knowing the reason we're saving the day We've been calling it Christmas down through the years Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here Oh, a simple belief was the start of it all A small child asleep on a bed made of straw [Unverified] where shepherds and kings First [Unverified] this moment would bring We've been calling it Christmas, keeping the faith Knowing the reason we're saving the day We've been calling it Christmas down through the years Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here We've been calling it Christmas, keeping the faith Knowing the reason we're saving the day We've been calling it Christmas down through the years Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here We've been calling it Christmas down through the years Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here Spreading joy to the world when Christmas is here
