I was young when I heard I opened the book and read the words Stories of a star up in the sky A far off place, a baby child born to be the light And the wise men came And the angels sang Hallelujah 'Cause far away Is born a little child Far away The Savior of Mankind The Prince of Peace, The King of Kings born in a manger Far away Seems a little closer today And when I'm old I'm hoping to Sit by the tree in my living room Tell stories of a star up in the sky, a far off place, a baby child And like the wise men I will ask What can I bring When the angels sing Hallelujah? 'Cause far away is born a little child Far away The Savior of Mankind The Prince of Peace, The King of Kings born in a manger Far away Seems a little closer today ♪ And the angels sing Hallelujah And the angels sing Hallelujah And the angels sing Hallelujah And the angels sing Hallelujah 'Cause far away Is born a little child Far away The Savior of Mankind The Prince of Peace, The King of Kings born in a manger Far away (Far away) Can be a little closer Far away (Far away) Come a little closer Far away seems a little closer today
