      A
manger, a virgin, three kings and a
star; 
We could have Christmas, wherever they
are. 
They sit on our table and give us good
cheer; 
As we join in the spirit of Christmas
each year. 
      For Grandma
first gave me the manger at
seven; 
I filled it with dolls and with toys; 
By ten came three kings, and a star at
eleven; 
At twelve came the virgin of joy. 
      And Grandpa
carved cradles and angels
and more, 
And gave them to children who'd never
seen them before; 
And I look at my table, on that most
holy sight, 
And remember I love them and miss them
that night.

       Now Grandpa's in heaven and
Grandma's
so far; 
But I always will love them, wherever
they are; 
For Jesus will watch them, I know this
and pray, 
That the spirit of Christmas will keep
them this day. 
      A manger, a virgin, three kings
and a
star; 
I'm saving for wise men that come from
afar; 
A cradle now lights up and shows us the
Babe; 
I cherish the memories that Christmas's
save. 
        
      A manger, a virgin, three kings
and a
star; 
We'll surely have Christmas wherever
they are. 
They sit on our table and give us good
cheer. 
We remember our loved ones and
Christmas--- 
(Christmas— Christmas)  Each year...
