have you ever
autumn-autumn Lyrics

Evening has come with old men by the fire
The night has arrived and the old men gather around the fire

Where tales that get taller, push the moon higher
They share stories that become more exaggerated, creating a sense of wonder and awe

A girl’s feet are sore when her lamb is a crazy
The girl's feet hurt when her lamb behaves unpredictably

They put me in charge
They have assigned me the responsibility

I think they are lazy
I believe they are not willing to take action

Now Yos he will help me
Yos has agreed to assist me

He plays the drum, which sometimes he loses
He plays the drum, although occasionally he misplaces it

I hide if for fun
I hide it as a form of amusement

He said that, for census, a pair had arrived
He mentioned that a couple had arrived for the census

With no place to stay
They had nowhere to lodge

And they were with child
The woman was pregnant

All the fuss, all the hustle
All the commotion, all the busyness

Have you seen my lamb
Have you encountered my lamb?

So many new faces from far away lands
There are numerous unfamiliar individuals from distant places

There’s a glow from the stable
There is a radiant light emanating from the stable

A Savior I’m told
I have been informed that a Savior has arrived

Now tell me what that means; I really don’t know
Now explain to me the significance; I genuinely lack understanding

I’m thinking that’s just where a little lamb goes
I believe that is the place where a little lamb belongs

I looked through the door and there Yos was proclaiming
I peered through the door and witnessed Yos making a declaration

That he’d play his drum for the new babe
He stated his intention to play the drum for the newborn child

But worry took hold as there was no drum
But worry consumed me as we had no drum

And then I just smiled and said, how ‘bout this one
And then I simply smiled and suggested, how about using this drum?

My friend took the drum, a most beautiful sound
My friend accepted the drum, creating a magnificent sound

Like never before, I was so proud
Like never before, I felt overwhelming pride

And there in the corner, with burro and ox
And there in the corner, alongside the donkey and ox

My sweet little lamb with little black socks
My adorable lamb with small black socks

I wonder ‘bout all of these things I behold my friend
I question and contemplate all the things I witness, my friend

The tears and the joy in their eyes, what does it mean
The tears and happiness in their eyes, what is the significance?

And they tremble and speak of the angels that they have seen
They quiver and talk about witnessing angels

Who knew that this creaky old stable could be so sweet
Who could have anticipated that this old, squeaky stable would be so charming

Could be so sweet
Could be so delightful

Unto the Savior a little lamb goes
A little lamb goes to the Savior

Thus said the prophets so long ago
This is what the prophets stated many years ago
