Lyrics

Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?.......(do you see what I see)
way up in the sky, little lamb
Do you see what I see?........(do you see what I see)
A star, a star dancing in the night
with a tail as big as a kite
with a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?......(do you hear what I hear)
ringing through the sky, shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?......(do you hear what I hear)
a song, a song, high above the trees
with a voice as big as the sea
with a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?.....(do you know what I know)
In your palace warm mighty king
Do you know what I know?......(do you know what I know)
A child, a child shivers in the cold
let us bring him silver and gold
let us bring him silver and gold

said the king to the people everywhere
listen to what I say........(listen to what I say)
pray for peace, people everywhere
listen to what I say ( listen to what I say)
the child, the child, sleeping in the night
he will bring us goodness and light
he will bring us goodness and light
