Daddy Won't You Read It Again

Family circled round the firelight
 snowflakes fall as it turns to night
 and we sit together on another Christmas Eve
 we read the story that started it all
 close the Bible and say goodnight
 and everyone makes their way to their beds
 when a tiny hand slips into mine and I hear
 Daddy won't you read it again
 Tell the story from beginning to the end
 How the angels came to tell the shepherds that night
 About a baby born in Bethlehem
 Tell me about the men from afar
 Following the light from a star
 How they came to worship the newborn king
 The one who came to change our hearts
 Oh daddy won't you read it
 Daddy won't you read it again
 Thirty years later the telephone rings
 dad I can't make it
 There's just to many things
 But we'll get together on another Christmas Eve
 I read the story that started it all
 close the Bible and say a prayer
 Then just as I turn to go up to my bed
 I hear a knock at the door and he's there and I hear
 Daddy won't you read it again
 Tell the story from beginning to the end
 How the angels came to tell the shepherds that night
 About a baby born in Bethlehem Tell me about from afar
 Following the light of a star
 How they came to worship the newborn king
 The one who came to change our hearts.
