MiscellaneousChristmas Must Be Tonight (Alternate Version) lyrics by The Band
Come down to the manger, see the little stranger
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, the prince of peace
And the wheels start turnin', torches start burnin'
And the old wise men journey from the east
How a little baby boy
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Well a shepherd on a hillside, while over my flock I bide
Oh a cold winter night a band of angels singin'
In a dream I heard a voice, sayin', "Fear not, come rejoice"
It's the end of the beginning, praise the new born king"
How a little baby boy
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
I saw it with my own eyes, it was written up in the skies
But why a simple herdsmen such as I?
Then it came to pass, he was born at last
Right below the star that shines on bright
How a little baby boy
Bring the people so much joy
Son of a carpenter, Mary carried the light
This must be Christmas, must be tonight
Be tonight, be tonight
