Lyrics

(For Amy)

GOODNIGHT GOD AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JESUS!
Verse 1:

Let the bells ring out; that?s what Jenny sang
And as if by magic, a million loudly rang
Then she asked for snow and though it may seem odd
Soon it came to fall and?. she said, ?Thank You God?

Verse 2:

She was filled with joy and as sleep beckoned
Jenny clasped her hands and knelt to pray
It was Christmas Eve and come this moment:
There was only one thing left to say:

Chorus:

Goodnight God and happy birthday Jesus!
Let His candles burn for ever more;
Thanks for all those things you send to please us
Goodnight God and happy birthday Jesus!

Verse 3:

Goodnight God and happy birthday Jesus!
?Let His candles burn forever more;
Thanks for all those things Thy send to please us
Goodnight God and happy birthday Jesus!?
