In the 12th month of the year
And as the last days disappear
In the dark of winter white
Something happened here tonight
I heard it in the market place
I saw it in a Sheppard’s face
They’re talking of a strange new light
Something happened here tonight
They say they felt an angel’s wings a beating
They whisper of a baby who lies sleeping
Keeping watch over him
The people came from all around
It seemed like God had touched the ground
A star was shining clear and bright
Something happened here tonight
A king is born for you and I
Look out at the morning sky
You will marvel at the sight
Something happened here tonight
I think I feel an angel’s wings a beating
Lead me to a baby who lies sleeping
Keeping watch over him
I heard it in the market place
I saw it in a Sheppard’s face
They’re talking of a strange new light
Something happened here tonight
