The Day That Love Began - Stevie Wonder

Once upon a christmas eve

A shepherd who believed

That peace could come to any man

Made a promise to the star above

The day that love began

I will give to him my lamb

A shepherds all i am And so he walked the lonely sand

To find the place his heart was dreaming of The day that love began

Over meadows over mountains

They came from valleys and from streams

Every poet and every king

And one little shepherd with a dream

But as the shepherd knelt to pray

His lamb just ran away

And tear drops filled his empty hand

He broke his promise to the star above

The day that love began

Then the smiling face of Mary

Beckoned the shepherd to her side

Today you gave him the best gift of all

The moment that you cried

Once upon a christmas eve

A shepherd who believed

That peace could come to any man

Found the place his heart was dreaming of And he kept his promise to the star above

The day that love began
