One Christmas Eve Long Ago

No decorations that I could see
There were no presents, there was no tree
From the sky there came a gloom
One Christmas Eve long ago

No shopping malls, no flashing lights
Just one big star to fill the night
The light of love began to grow
One Christmas Eve, so long ago

That's how I feel it down in my soul
Much more than silver and more than gold
So far beyond, mere words they say
The gift of love was always on that first Christmas day

No decorations, no fancy light
He came in silence on that holy night
That's how it was, somehow I know
One Christmas eve long ago

No decorations that I could see
There were no presents, there was no tree
That's how it was, somehow I know
One Christmas Eve long ago

One Christmas Eve, so long ago
One Christmas Eve long ago
