Dm C/D Dm C/D [Verse] 1
Dm What child is this
C/DBb/DA/D That I now find here sleeping?
DmC/D Do angels keep the dreams we seek
BbADm While our hearts lie bleeding?
 [Chorus]
FDmCAm7 And could this be christ the king
BbGm7A Whose every breath the angels bring?
FDmCAmBb Could this be the face of God, this child,
ADmC/D Dm C/D the Son I once carried?
 [Verse] 2
Dm What child is this
C/DBb/DA/D Who is so blessed he changes all tomorrows?
DmC/D Replacing tears with reborn years
BbADm In hearts once dark and hollow
 [Chorus]
FDmCAm7 And could this be christ the king
BbGm7A Whose every breath the angels bring?
FDmCAmBb Could this be the face of God, this child,
ADmC/D Dm C/D Gm Eb Bb F Gm Eb Bb F the Son I once carried?
 [Verse] 3
GmEb In the dead of the night
BbF As his life slips away
GmEb As he reads by the light
BbF Of a star far away
Gm Holding on
Eb Holding off
Bb Holding out
F Holding in
GmEb Could you be this old
BbGm And have your life just begin?
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
Gm It begins
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
 [Verse] 4
GmEbBbF Tell me how many times can this story be told
GmEbBbF After all of these years it should all sound so old
GmEbBbF But it somehow rings true in the back of my mind
GmEbBbFGm As I search for a dream that words can no longer define
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
Gm And the time
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
 [Bridge]
GmEb And the time and the years
BbF And the tears and the cost
GmEb And the hopes and the dreams
BbF Of each child that is lost
GmEb And the whisper of wings
BbF In the cold winter's air
GmEb As the snow it comes down
BbFGm And visions appear everywhere
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
Gm In the air
EbBmF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
 [Verse] 3

Gm Holding on

Bb Holding out

GmEb Could you be this old
BbFGm And have your life just begin
EbBbF (Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
