When the Baby Grew Up

Christmas time, I can smell it

Smoke from fires in the air

Hearts prepared for the Baby

Anticipation everywhere

Gifts will be given

But let it not be forgotten, that ...

Chorus:

Oh, when the Baby grew up

The Boy became a Man

Oh, when the Baby grew up

He led my soul to the Promised Land

Oh, when the Baby grew up

The child became a Man

I learned when the Baby grew up

What I can't do, well, love can

Christmas time, I can watch it

Alastair Sim's playing Scrooge

And I love when he wakes up

Christmas morning, in a Christmas mood

Singers will be singing

But let it not be forgotten, that ...

Chorus

Christmas time, I can feel it

See the pastor shed a tear

As she reads from the gospel

The angels to the shepherds: "Have no fear"

Gifts will be given

Singers will be singing

Bells will be ringing

But let it not be forgotten, that ...
