Favourite Christmas Song


"Christmas Must Be Tonight" Paul Kelly
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling cloths the prince of peace

Wheels start turning, torches start burning
And th old wise men journey from the East

Chorus:
How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy
son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This Must be Christmas, must be tonight

A shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
On a cold winter night a band of angels sing
In a dream I heard a voice, saying "fear not, come rejoice"

Chorus:
How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy
son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This Must be Christmas, must be tonight

I saw it with my own eyes, written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsman such as I?
And then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on high

Chorus:
How a little baby boy brings the people so much joy
son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This Must be Christmas, must be tonight

Paul Kelly brings a unique aussie flavour to this track originally from 'The Band' and is found as a B side to the 'Won't You Come Around EP
