This is Perry Como...
And I'd like to tell you the most wonderful, the most beautiful
The most exciting story in the whole world
The Story of the First Christmas!
Now suppose you make believe this is many, many years ago
A long time before you were born!
You're standing on a hillside, near a little town in Palestine
Do you see the man in the distance, walking slowly, leading a donkey?
His name is Joseph!
Someone is sitting on the back of the donkey
And her name is Mary!
They've come a long, long way
And they're heading for a little town near the hillside
On which we're standing!
Something very special will happen in this little town tonight!
For this is the little town of Bethlehem!
Oh little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by!
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light!
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight!
