Underneath the stars Just a simple man and wife Somewhere in the dark His words cut the silent night Take my hand, for the child That you carry is God's own And though it seems the road is long We're not that far from Bethlehem Where all our hope and joy began For in our arms, we'll cherish Him We're not that far, from Bethlehem Let us celebrate As the Christmas's go by Learn to live our days With our hearts near to the child Ever drawn, ever close To the only love that lasts And though 2000 years have passed We're not that far from Bethlehem Where all our hope and joy began For when our hearts still cherish Him We're not that far We're not that far from Bethlehem Where all our hope and joy began For when our hearts still cherish Him We're not that far We're not that far, from Bethlehem
