Carola - Heaven in My Arms lyrics
[Carola - Heaven in My Arms lyrics]
Who has lit the starlight that shines
So bright in your eyes?
Who has lit the darkness for
The shepherds on this night?
Who has placed the straw crown that
Sit's upon your small brow?
Who has brought the wise men to the stable
Precious child?
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
Why the tears you're crying?
What has made you frightened?
Why do your tiny fingers hold
So tightly momma's hair?
See the dancing shadows
Feel how soft the wind blows
It's following an angel that
Was only just there
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
May you greet all others as
Sisters and as brothers
And may you be received with
Only love and gentleness
Wherever time may take you I
Will not forsake you
Grant this mother's prayer that your
Days of mirth be blessed
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
Who has lit the starlight that's
Shining bright in your eyes?
Shining like a diamond over little Bethlehem
So bright in your eyes?
Who has lit the darkness for
The shepherds on this night?
Who has placed the straw crown that
Sit's upon your small brow?
Who has brought the wise men to the stable
Precious child?
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
Why the tears you're crying?
What has made you frightened?
Why do your tiny fingers hold
So tightly momma's hair?
See the dancing shadows
Feel how soft the wind blows
It's following an angel that
Was only just there
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
May you greet all others as
Sisters and as brothers
And may you be received with
Only love and gentleness
Wherever time may take you I
Will not forsake you
Grant this mother's prayer that your
Days of mirth be blessed
Are you one of many more or
The one they're waiting for?
You my little child so close to my heart
Have I given you in birth to
Be the treasure of the earth?
Are you truly heaven laying
Cradle in my arms?
Who has lit the starlight that's
Shining bright in your eyes?
Shining like a diamond over little Bethlehem
