Little boy six year old, sitting on his Grandpa's knee Little did he know it way back then, but he was makin' Christmas a memory Grandpa asked that little boy, "What does Christmas really mean to you?" And the boy talked of snowand stockings and toys all shiny and new Grandpa laughed and shook his head and said, "Let me tell you what it means to me" And he held that little boy close as he pointed to the top of the Christmas tree he said Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The One who came to shine away the dark Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star Don't forget the star Little boys grow up too fast, and those mem'ries they sure do fade And that Christmas Eve with Grandpa seems about a million miles away These days the bills are piling' up, and the world is weighing down He's got a little girl of his own, need he knows grown men don't cry But as that girl looks in his eyes, he remembers his Grandpa's song Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The One who came to shine away the dark Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star It was shining' bright in the eastern sky, bove a manger two thousand years ago And it fills my heart with joy to realize that star still guidin' lost souls home And I think about Grandpa as I raise my daughter high, as she hangs a star upon the tree And a tear comes to my eye, as I think about the way that Jesus was bought for you and me Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The One who came to shine away the dark Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star this Christmas Don't forget the greatest gift of all The One who came to shine away the dark Bringin' hope for every heart this Christmas Don't forget the star Don't forget the star Don't forget the star Little boy six year old, sitting on his Grandpa's knee
