Said the night wind to the little lamb do you see what I see? ( do you see what I see? ) Way up in the sky, little lamb do you see what I see ( do you see what I see? )
A star, a star, dancing in the night With a tail as big as a kite With a tail as big as a kite!
Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? ) Ringing through the sky, shepherd boy, do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
A song, a song, high above the tree With a voice as big as the sea With a voice as big as the sea!
Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? ) In your palace warm, mighty king do you know what I know? ( do you know what I know? )
A Child, a Child shivers in the cold Let us bring Him silver and gold Let us bring Him silver and gold!
Said the king to the people everywhere ( said the king to the people everywhere! ) listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! ) Pray for peace, people everywhere ( pray for peace, people everywhere! ) listen to what I say ( listen to what I say! )
The Child, the Child, sleeping in the night He will bring us goodness and light He will bring us goodness and light!
Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? ) Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? ) Do you hear what I hear? ( do you hear what I hear? )
