[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
