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 Extra cookie out for Santa in case 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 Chorus 2: He saw a boy like me He bounced him on his knee They played some games that made his mother smile As you place the final piece inside your manger scene They wondered at this boy They gazed upon this gift In a boy like me In a boy like me
