One Christmas Eve Long Ago

No decorations that I could see
 There were no presents, there was no tree
 From the sky there came a gloom
 One Christmas Eve long ago
 No shopping malls, no flashing lights
 Just one big star to fill the night
 The light of love began to grow
 One Christmas Eve, so long ago
 That's how I feel it down in my soul
 Much more than silver and more than gold
 So far beyond, mere words they say
 The gift of love was always on that first Christmas day
 No decorations, no fancy light
 He came in silence on that holy night
 That's how it was, somehow I know
 One Christmas eve long ago
 No decorations that I could see
 There were no presents, there was no tree
 That's how it was, somehow I know
 One Christmas Eve long ago
 One Christmas Eve, so long ago
 One Christmas Eve long ago
