[Intro]
Dm C/D Dm C/D

[Verse] 1
Dm
What child is this
    C/D
Who laid to rest
     Bb/D            A/D
That I now find here sleeping?
   Dm              C/D
Do angels keep the dreams we seek
Bb        A          Dm
While our hearts lie bleeding?

[Chorus]
    F     Dm      C          Am7
And could this be christ the king
      Bb    Gm7        A
Whose every breath the angels bring?
F     Dm          C       Am        Bb
Could this be the face of God, this child, 
    A          Dm      C/D Dm C/D
the Son I once carried?

[Verse] 2
     Dm
What child is this
    C/D              Bb/D          A/D
Who is so blessed he changes all tomorrows?
  Dm                 C/D
Replacing tears with reborn years
   Bb          A        Dm
In hearts once dark and hollow

[Chorus]
    F     Dm      C          Am7
And could this be christ the king
      Bb    Gm7        A
Whose every breath the angels bring?
F     Dm          C       Am        Bb
Could this be the face of God, this child, 
    A          Dm       C/D Dm C/D Gm Eb Bb F Gm Eb Bb F
the Son I once carried?

[Verse] 3
       Gm               Eb
In the dead of the night
       Bb              F
As his life slips away
      Gm                Eb
As he reads by the light
     Bb        F
Of a star far away
           Gm
Holding on
            Eb
Holding off
           Bb
Holding out
          F
Holding in
          Gm         Eb
Could you be this old
    Bb                    Gm
And have your life just begin?
                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
         Gm
It begins
                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)

[Verse] 4
        Gm            Eb        Bb            F
Tell me how many times can this story be told
      Gm                Eb         Bb           F
After all of these years it should all sound so old
           Gm               Eb       Bb         F
But it somehow rings true in the back of my mind
     Gm                Eb    Bb           F        Gm
As I search for a dream that words can no longer define

                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
            Gm
And the time
                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)

[Bridge]
             Gm           Eb
And the time and the years
             Bb           F
And the tears and the cost
        Gm                  Eb
And the hopes and the dreams
        Bb            F
Of each child that is lost
        Gm         Eb
And the whisper of wings
       Bb               F
In the cold winter's air
       Gm            Eb
As the snow it comes down
    Bb            F     Gm
And visions appear everywhere
                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
           Gm
In the air
                Eb         Bm             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)

[Verse] 3
       Gm               Eb
In the dead of the night
       Bb             F
As his life slips away
      Gm                Eb
As he reads by the light
     Bb        F
Of a star far away
          Gm
Holding on
           Eb
Holding off
           Bb
Holding out
           F
Holding in
          Gm         Eb
Could you be this old
    Bb        F           Gm
And have your life just begin

                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
         Gm
It begins
                Eb         Bb
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
         Gm
It begins
                Eb         Bb             F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
         Gm
It begins
                Eb                        F
(Reading by the light of a lost christmas day)
     Gm
It begins
