Close your eyes December child
And dream a while my little sun and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and roundSnuggle 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 himClose your eyes December child
And dream a while my little sun and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and roundThey 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 dayLittle one, little son
All my life I've wished you welcomeClose your eyes December child
And dream a while my little sun and moon
May the stars be your crown
And may the earth guide you round and round
