INTRO:
Dm    Bb    F    C
VERSE 1:
Did it Dmfeel like a night any diffBberent
Then at lDmeast a million beBbfore 
Was tDmhere any rare expecBbtation
Like there was sDmome kind of something in sBbtore
Did the Gmsky have to Bb/Fhold back the tEb2hunder 
                     Gm  Dm/       F  Eb  
Did the moon find new reasons to glow
Could the cDmhildren somF/Cehow sense the Bb2wonder
             Dm         C     Dm-      Bb-   C  
Two thousand Decembers ago 
VERSE 2:
Were the sDmheep as amazed as the sBbhepherds
At the Dmnew star that lit up the Bbsky
Did the wDmillow trees whisper excBbitement
To the riDmvers and streams passing Bbby
Did the Gmjoy ricoBb/Fchet off the mEb2ountains 
                     Gm  Dm/     F  Eb  
'Til it filled up the valleys below
Did Dmall the world sF/Cense love abBb2ounding
              Dm         C     Dm-      Bb-   C  
Two thousand Decembers ago 
CHORUS:
Was Fanyone able to lGook at the stable 
And Amnot see a cGhild but a KFing
I wish I could hear back oGver the years
As Am7heaven & naGture sFing, heaven and naGture sing. 
VERSE 3:
Did the walls of the barn start to tremble 
With a glory they could not contain 
Did anyone wake with the feeling 
Of peace that they could not explain 
Oh the love must have been overwhelming 
As it warmed everyone in its flow 
For all of the earth is still telling 
Of two thousand Decembers ago 
Was anyone able to look at the stable 
And not see a child but a king 
I wish I could hear back over the years 
As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing 
Oh the love must have been overwhelming 
Two thousand Decembers ago
