He lights his special candle
Before he shuts his eyes
Leaving light for happiness
Knows it will arrive

Hugs his little kittens
Jumps right into bed
Stares at candle glowing
Dreams of what's ahead

In his dreams a cottage
Filled with candy canes
Mom and Daddy laughing
As he sees his trains

All brand new and shiny
Circling the tree
Oh my goodness joyful
Jumping with such glee

Looks into a corner
Sees the Christmas creche
Joseph, Mary, Jesus
Adoring love so blessed

Looks up to the heaven
Says a little prayer
Happy Birthday Jesus
These trains for us to share.
