A BABY JUST LIKE YOU

Bb F
The season is upon us now
Bb C7 F
The time for gifts and giving
Bb F
As the year draws to its close
Bb C7 F
I think about my living
Bb F
Christmastime when I was young
Bb C7 F
The magic and the wonder
Bb F
Colors dull and candles dim
Bb C7 F
And darkness standing under
Dm G C7 Bb
Oh little angel in shining light
C7 F
You send my soul to dreaming
Dm G C7 Bb
You’ve given back my joy in life
F Bb F
And filled me with new meaning

Verse 2:
A Savior King was born that day
A baby just like you
As the wise men came with gifts
I come with my gift too
Peace on earth fills up your time
And brotherhood surrounds you
You may know the warmth of love
And wrap it all around you
It’s just a wish, a dream, I’m told
From days when I was young
(twice):
Bb C7 F Dm
Merry Christmas, little Zachary
Bb C7 F
Merry Christmas, everyone
