calling it christmas

Joss Stone

[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

[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 saviour and king

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Elton John:]
Oh a simple belief
Was the start of it all
A small child asleep
On a bed made of straw

[Joss Stone:]
At the back of an inn
Where, where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy that
This moment would bring

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
[Joss Stone:]
Knowing the reason
We're, we're saving the day

[Elton John:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
[Joss Stone:]
(Down through the years, baby)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
(Down through, down through)
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
(Is here)

[Joss Stone:]
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas, ooh
Is here
(Is here)
