Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round

Snuggle up and let me hold kiss
Your baby breath in the dark and cold
On a silent night long ago
Another mother held her babe and told him

Chorus:
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round

They had come such a long long way
Rest your little head on me and I'll tell you of
A little king and his bed of hay
It is remembered every Christmas day

Little one, little son
All my life I've wished you welcome

Chorus:
Close your eyes December Child
And dream a while my little son and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
