The Day That Love Began

(álbum: The Season For Miracles - 1970)

Once upon a Christmas Eve
A shepherd who believed
That peace could come to any man
Made a promise to a star above
The day that love began
(The day that love be, ooh)

I will give to him my lamb
A shepherd's all I am
And so he walked the lonely (Sand) sand
To find the place his heart was dreaming of
The day that love began
(The day that love began)

Over meadows, over mountains
They came from valleys and from streams (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Every poet and ev-every king
And one little shepherd with a dream

But as the shepherd knelt to pray
His lamb just ran away
And teardrops filled his empty hand
He broke his promise to a star above
The day that love began
(The day that love began)

Then the smiling face of Mary
Beckoned the shepherd to her side (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
Today, you gave Him the best gift of all
The very moment that you cried

Once upon a Christmas Eve
A shepherd who believed
That peace could come to an-any man
Made a promise to a star above
To find the place his heart was dream, dreaming of
The day (The day, the day, the day) that love began
(The day that love began)

Oh, the day, the day that love began
(The day that love began)
The day that love began
(The day that love began)
The day, the day that love began
(The day that love began)
Mmm-hmm-hmm
