The Day That Love Began

Once upon a Christmas eve a shepherd who believed

That peace could come to any man

Made a promise to a star above

The day that love began

I will give to him my lamb

A shepherd's all I am

And so he walked the lonely sand

To find the place his heart was dreaming of

The day that love began

Over meadows over mountains

They came from valleys and from streams

Every poet and every king

And one little shepherd with a dream

But as the shepherd knelt to pray his lamb just ran away

And tear drops filled his empty hand

He broke his promise to a star above

The day that love began

Then the smiling face of mary

Beckoned the shepherd to her side

Today you gave him the best gift of all

The moment that you cried oh

Once upon a Christmas eve a shepherd who believed

That peace could come to an any man

Found the place his heart was dreaming of

And he kept his promise to a star above

The day that love began
