C              F            C
No decorations that I could see
              G7                    C
There were no presents there was no tree
                          F
From the sky there came a glow
              C    G7      C
One Christmas Eve  so long ago

                  F           C
No shopping malls no flashing lights
             G7               C
Just one big star to fill the night
                           F
The light of love began to grow
              C    G7    C
One Christmas Eve  long ago

             G7                 C
That's how I feel it down in my soul
               F      G7            C
Much more than silver and more than gold
       B7                   Em
So far beyond mere words to say
    C       D7                                    G7
The gift of love was ours on that first Christmas day

       C       F        C
No decorations no fancy light
           G7                   C
He came in silence on that holy night
                            F
That's how it was somehow I know
              C    G7    C
One Christmas Eve  long ago

                   G7    C
One Christmas Eve  long ago
