Reason For The Season

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Once I asked a little boy Why did Christmas fill him so full of joy He said, "I get new toys" So, I asked, "Why would you say... ...do we celebrate that very special day?" He just looked away [Chorus] I said, "Long ago before there was Reindeer and Santa Claus A brand new star shined in the night Baby Jesus, he was born That's what Christmas Day is for He's the joyous reason for the season" [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] Teach your children, teach them well The story of that blessed day and they will tell Their children, just as well And on that holy winter's day It's a time for giving and a time to pray So, don't forget to say... [Chorus] "Children, long ago before there was Reindeer and Santa Claus A brand new star shined in the night Baby Jesus, he was born That's what Christmas Day is for He's the joyous reason for the season" [Tag] When you hear somebody call "Merry Christmas, one and all" Remember he's the reason for the season
