Joss Stone, Elton John - Calling It Christmas (Radio Edit) lyrics

On a hill long ago, on a cold winter's night
In a land far away, three kings saw a light
And from heaven it shone like God's
God's own crown
And it guided three kings into Bethlehem town

Oh, they came bearing gifts and
So said each one
"Let's call this day Christmas
From this moment on"
"We'll be calling it Christmas in
In honor of Him" "The child in the manger
Our savior and king" oh-ho ooh

We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith knowing the reason we're
We're saving the day we've been calling it
We've been calling it Christmas, ooh
Down through the years
Down through the years, baby
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here is here

Oh, a simple belief was the start of it all
A small child asleep on a bed made of straw
At the back of an inn where
Where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy that
This moment would bring

We've been calling it
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith knowing the reason
We're saving the day we've been calling it
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
Down through the years, baby
Spreading joy to the world when Christmas
When Christmas is here
Is here we've been calling it Christmas
Oh, baby down through the years
Down through, down through the years
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here ooh ooh, yeah
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here christmas is here
Oh, oh, yeah
Spreading joy to the world when Christmas
Ooh ooh is here
Is here, hmm
