Lyrics A Christmas Song - Shawn Phillips
He
came
in
the
way
that
good
things
come
With
the
lights
shining
in
his
eyes
And
most
people
thought
he
was
another
little
babe
That
wrinkled
up
his
face
and
cried
And
then
one
wise
man,
two
wise
men,
three
wise
men
Come
afrom
afar,
and
the
many
colored
men
knew
This
was
a
special
child
And
that's
why
they
followed
that
star
He
came
east
and
west
then
he
found
himself
In
forty
day
and
forty
night
He
gave
a
lot
of
love
to
everyone
he
met
And
he
told
them
that
the
way
was
right
And
then
the
people
drew
near,
said
they
want
To
hear
what's
all
this
talking
about
And
everybody
loved
that
man
so
much
that
They
wanted
to
laugh
and
shout
But
a
bunch
of
people
said
he
had
the
wrong
idea
So
they
told
him
to
forget
that
thought
So
a
secretive
society
came
about
And
they
were
looking
for
the
love
they
sought
And
then
the
people
in
power
said
We
gave
you
an
order:
go
back
and
be
a
carpenter
But
the
shining
in
his
face
Told
him
was
right
And
so
they
put
him
on
a
cross
right
there
Now
he's
been
gone
for
a
mighty
long
time
We've
forgotten
what
the
man
had
said
Look
at
your
life
in
the
right
direction
And
be
sure
to
look
inside
your
head
And
when
you
get
around
your
Christmas
tree
Be
sure
to
give
all
you
can
Because
the
more
you're
gonna
give
The
more
you're
gonna
get,
be
you
woman
or
a
gentleman
Now
Christmas
and
Easter
ain't
the
only
time
That
we
should
be
that
way
Love
all
the
people
and
help
your
neighbor
now
each
and
every
day
And
when
you
do
that,
you'll
see
where
it's
at
You'll
feel
what
I'm
talking
around
And
then
the
whole
wide
world
is
gonna
live
in
peace
And
everybody's
gonna
be
found
