Calling It Christmas (Radio Edit)

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Elton John] On a hill long ago, on a cold winter's night In a land far away, three kings saw a light And from Heaven, it shone like God's, God's own crown And it guided three kings into Bethlehem town [Verse 2: Joss Stone] Oh, they came bearing gifts and so said each one "Let's call this day Christmas from this moment on" "We'll be calling it Christmas in, in honour of Him" "The Child in the manger, our Savior and King", oh [Chorus: Elton John, Joss Stone, Both] We've been calling it Christmas Keeping the faith Knowing the reason We, we're saving the day We've been calling it, we've been calling it Christmas (Oh) Down through the years (Down through the years, baby) Spreading joy to the world When Christmas is here, is here [Verse 3: Elton John, Joss Stone] Oh, a simple belief was the start of it all A small child asleep on a bed made of straw At the back of an inn where, where shepherds and kings First felt the joy that this moment would bring [Chorus: Joss Stone, Elton John, Both] We've been calling it, we've been calling it Christmas Keeping the faith Knowing the reason We're saving the day We've been calling it, we've been calling it Christmas Down through the years (Down through the years, baby) Spreading joy to the world When Christmas, when Christmas is here, is here We've been calling it Christmas, baby Down through the years (Down through, down through the years) Spreading joy to the world When Christmas is here (Ooh, yeah) Spreading joy to the world When Christmas is here, Christmas is here, oh, yeah Spreading joy to the world When Christmas, ooh, is here, is here
