Was He a Boy Like Me

Verse 1:

Its Christmas time and soon I know I'll see

Presents underneath the Christmas tree

Mistletoe and stockings in their place

But tonight I'm setting up the manger underneath the tree

And counting all the pieces as a question comes to me

Chorus 1:

Was he a boy like me

Did he bounce on daddy's knee

Did he play games to make his mother smile

As I place the final piece inside the manger scene

I wonder if he was a boy like me

Verse 2:

Throw tinsel on it and some candy canes

Turn on the hi-fi Julie Andrew sings

Jingle bells I wish some snow would fall

Say our thanks wish merry Christmas to all

But as I stare out the window at the Christmas star tonight

There's a question I must ask you and I hope that you don't mind

(repeat chorus 1)

Bridge:

I knocked the wise man over when I put the baby in

I set him up so he could see the child once again

I fixed the broken shepherd so he could stand up tall

Looking in his eyes I think I see just what he saw
