Twas the night before Christmas, and my [Gm] only desire _ was peace among [C] kids and to [Gm] rest by fire.
_ I'd [F] just settled down in my favorite [Bb] chair _ when I heard a small [D] voice [C] and a cry of [Bb] despair.
_ _ [F] As I stared at the hearth, I saw a strange [D] sight.
_ Our nativity [Gm] scene in the flickering light [F] [C] seemed almost [Bb] alive.
And how could this be?
One [C] lonely shepherd [Bb]
was calling to me.
[F] _ _ _

[F] closer, _ _ _ _ _ move [Gm] me _ _ closer, _ _
_ _ [C] _ move me [Bb] _
_ closer _ _ [F] to _ _ _ [Bb] the _ _ _ child.

Move [C] me _ _ [Bb] closer _ _ _ to [C] _ _ _
the [Bb] child.
_ _ _ _ [F] _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F] As you can well imagine, I was a bit [A] surprised.
_ [Gm] So with a shake of the head and [C] a rub of the eyes, [Gm] I took another look.
[F]
And what did I see?
Without [Bb] a doubt, he was looking [D] at me.
[C] _ _ _ [F] It seems in the hustle and bustle of things, in the [D] wrapping of gifts and the building of [Gm] swings,
_ _ in [F] assembling [C] his scene, [Bb] I'd been a bit hurried.
And _ [C] understandably so, [Bb] he was a little bit worried.
[F] _ _
_ _ [Bb] _ Move me _ _
[F] closer, _ _ _ _ _ move [Gm] me _ _ closer, _
_ [Bb] _ _ _ [C] _ move me [Bb] _ _ _ _ closer [F] _
to _ _ _ [Bb] the _ _ _ child.
_ _ _ _ [C] _
Let [Bb] me _ [F] see _ _ him, _ _ let [D] me _ hold _ _ [Gm] his hand.
_ [Bb] Move [C] me _ _ [Bb] closer _ _ _ _ to _ [C] _ _ _ _ [Bb] the _ _ _ child.
[F] _ _ _ _
_ _ [B] _ _ _ [Gb] You see, candy canes and holly [Ebm] trim _ [Abm] didn't mean a thing to him.
_ [Db]
If they kept [Abm] him from his post, _ [Gb] _ beside the child he [B] loved the most.
_ So as strange I [Db] know as it must seem, _ [B] whether it [Gb] was or wasn't a dream, _
I placed [Eb] him back where he belonged as [Abm] he sang again [B] his sinful [Db] song.
And [B] now when we at Christmas share, we sing [Db] his song, _ _ [B] _ A Shepherd's Prayer.
_ [Gb] _ _ _ _
[C] _ Move me _ _ _ [G]
closer, _ _ _ _ move _ [Am] me _ closer, _ _ _

closer _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
