To night the stars shine for the chil dren,
and light the way for dreams to fly.
To night our love comes wrapped in rib bons.
The world is right and hopes are high.
And from a dark and frost ed win dow a child ap pears
to search the sky
be cause it’s Christ mas, be cause it’s Christ mas.
To night be longs to all the chil dren.
To night their joy runs through the air.
And so we send our ten der bless ings
to all the chil dren ev ’ry where.
To see the smiles and hear the laugh ter, a time to give,
a time to share,
be cause it’s Christ mas, be cause it’s Christ mas.
Christ mas for now and for ev er for all of the chil dren and for the chil dren in us all.
This page shows “Because It's Christmas (For All The Children)” by Barry Manilow in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 88 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.
