Over the hills long time ago,
Shepherds and their sheep lay low.
Midnight came, a light did shine,
Bright as the light from a neon sign.
Something happened to the light,
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Never seen a stranger sight,
Looks like day... but it should be night.
Angels came and said to them,
"You gotta go to Bethlehem!"
They flew up into the sky.
Shepherds could not believe their eyes!
Something happened to the light,
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Never seen a stranger sight,
Looks like day... but it should be night.
Shepherds travelled high and low,
Wond'ring where the light would go.
Travelled up and travelled down,
'Til they came to a little town.
Something happened to the light,
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Never seen a stranger sight,
Looks like day... but it should be night.
Still their journey led them on,
All the time that light it shone.
Over an inn it seemed to hang,
At the door all the shepherds sang:
Something happened to the light,
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Never seen a stranger sight,
Looks like day... but it should be night.
...Something happened to the light,
Should be dark but it turned out bright!
Never seen a stranger sight,
Looks like day but it should be night!
Don't know how it shines so bright.
Tell the truth it gave me a fright.
'Cos it looks like day...but it should be night!
