REBA MCENTIRE - On This Day lyrics

rate me

(Michael P. Heeney, David Scarlett)

The kids were up before dawn this morning

Right to the Christmas tree they ran

Called up the stairs for us to hurry

Wait for this day for about as long as they could stand

While trading presents the little one asks me

Why do we have Christmas each year

I said long ago a child was born this day

He's a gift more precious then all you see here

Chorus:

Cause on this day

A child was born

In the town of Bethlehem

And on this day

God sent his son to bring peace and goodwill

To all men

Oh on this day we call Christmas

We honor his name

On this day

We recall all the reasons he came

On this day

On this day

Grandma and Grandpa arrived after breakfast

The rest of the gang by noon

We spent the day watching football and breaking in toys

Helping out in the kitchen

Catching up on old news

When the dinner bell rang

We all took our places

Grandpa said who wants to say grace

Before anyone else could utter a word

Oh the little one bowed her head

And she started to say

Repeat Chorus

Oh on this day we call Christmas

We honor his name

On this day

We recall all the reasons he came

On this day

On this day
