John mcdermott somewhere a child is sleeping lyrics

The snow is softly falling

The night is cold and grey

The forests fields and mountains 

Await the coming day

One star outshines the others

So bright as if to say

This is a special morning

A child was born on Christmas day.



Long ago, far away 

In a stable bare

Look and see, he sleeps so peacefully

As if the cold of night were never there

Bless all the little children

Whenever they may lay

Somewhere a child is sleeping 

A child was born on Christmas Day.



So we might love each other

In peace and honor's way

Somewhere a child is sleeping

A child was born on Christmas Day

To save the world from sadness 

His troubled life he gave

To offer hope and gladness

Our weary souls to save

To comfort us in trouble 

To guide us ev'ryday

One hope for life eternal

A child was born on Christmas Day



Long ago, far away

In a stable bare

Look and see he sleeps so peacefully

As if the cold of night were never there

Bless all the little children

Where ever they may lay

Somewhere a child is sleeping 

A child was born on Christmas Day.

So we might love each other

In peace and honor's way

Somewhere a child is sleeping 

A child was born on Christmas Day.
