Cloverton

A Christmas Hallelujah


I've heard about this baby boy
Who's come to earth to bring us joy
And I just want to sing this song to you
It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
With every breath I'm singing Hallelujah
Hallelujah

A couple came to Bethlehem
Expecting child, they searched the inn
To find a place for You were coming soon
There was no room for them to stay
So in a manger filled with hay
God's only Son was born, oh Hallelujah
Hallelujah


This is another favorite song of mine.  I love the lyrics by Cloverton as well as the instrumental.  There's a haunting quality to this music when you listen to it.  Leonard Cohen is the composer of the original Hallelujah!
