From the 1996 album: Christmas Eve and Other Stories Words: Paul O'Neill Music: Paul O'Neill and John Oliva Tempo: Moderately Bright [Intro] E A/E B/E A/E E A/E B/E A/E [Verse 1]
E             A/E
An angel came down

    B/E      A/E E
One night to the earth

               A/E
A mission from God

   B/E    A/E        E
To find out the worth

              A/E
Of everything that

    B/E      A/E     E
His children had done

                  A/E
Since that winter night

    B/E     A/E  E
The birth of His son
[Chorus]
           A/C#             A
And then a sound filled the night

       E/B  B      E
In the cold winter air

           A/C#         A
And in the midst of his flight

       E/B B       E
It was holding him there

          A/C#              A
And as he looked toward the earth

        E/B    B       E
For the source of this sound

        A/C#        A
On that cold winter night

       E/B B       E
It was pulling him down
A/E B/E A/E E [Verse 2]
   E               A/E
To bring something back

     B/E   A/E     E
This angel was told

                  A/E
That no one could touch

    B/E   A/E        E
But angels could hold

           A/E
So on that night

     B/E     A/E        E
When the sky had cleared

              A/E
Among all the stars

   B/E A/E E
An angel appeared
[Chorus]
           A/C#             A
And then a sound filled the night

       E/B  B      E
In the cold winter air

           A/C#         A
And in the midst of his flight

       E/B B       E
It was holding him there

          A/C#               A
And as he looked towards the earth

        E/B    B       E
For the source of this sound

        A/C#        A
On that cold winter night

       E/B B       E
It was pulling him down
[Instrumental] B E A E A E B E B E [Outro]
           A/C#             A
And then a sound filled the night

       E/B  B       E
In the cold winter air

           A/C#          A
And in the midst of his flight

       E/B B       E
It was holding him there

          A/C#               A
And as he looked towards the earth

        E/B    B       E
For the source of this sound

        A/C#        A
On that cold winter night

       E/B B       E    A/E B/E A/E E
It was pulling him down
