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
  
   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
