Burl Ives - Happy Birthday Jesus (A Child's Prayer) Lyrics

Burl Ives - Happy birthday Jesus

Happy birthday, Jesus, it's that time of year
All the lights on the trees say Christmas time is near
Another year's behind us, you helped us make it through
So, happy birthday, Jesus, this song is just for you

We all get so hung up on material things at times it seems liek we forget
what Christmas really means
It should be thanks we're givin', that's why I wrote this tune
Happy brithday, Jesus, this sing is just for you

There's a gift for everyone but you underneath the tree
No, it's not much, but I hipe you like this song to you from me

Happy birthday Jesus, that's why I wrote this tune
So, happy birthday, Jesus, my song is just for you
