[Elton John:]
On a hill long ago on a cold winter's night
In a land far away three kings saw a light
From heaven it shown like God's, God's own crown
And it guided three kings into Bethlehem town
[Joss Stone:]
Oh they came bearing gifts and so said each one
Let's call this day Christmas from this moment on
We'll be calling it Christmas in honor of him
The child in the manger our savior and king
[Elton John and Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
Knowing the reason
We're saving the date
[Elton John and Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
[Elton John:]
Oh a simple belief was the start of it all
A small child asleep on a bed made of straw
[Joss Stone:]
At the back of an inn where shepherds and kings
First felt the joy this moment would bring
[Elton John and Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Keeping the faith
Knowing the reason
We're saving the date
[Elton John and Joss Stone:]
We've been calling it Christmas
Down through the years
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
[Elton John and Joss Stone:]
Spreading joy to the world
When Christmas is here
