CHRISTMAS
IT CAN BE WISHED UPON
AND THEN WHAT YOU'D THOUGHT LOST
FOR HERE IN THIS CITY OF LIGHTS
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND IT MUFFLES THE SOUND
THAT'S ABOUT TO BEGIN
CHRISTMAS
CHRISTMAS EVE
ON CHRISTMAS EVE
THE DREAM STILL WANDERS
AS IT STARTS TO DEPLOY
WITH A DREAM SO INTENSE
A CHILD STANDS ALONE AND SHE'S WAITING
START TO BELIEVE
FOR TIME'S NOT A THING ONE SHOULD SQUANDER
AS IT WAS MEANT TO BE
AND THE LIGHT THAT'S OUT THERE
CHRISTMAS
AND THE SNOW IT COMES DOWN
THAT IT RETURNS US ALL
TO A CHILD'S INNOCENCE
THE DREAMS THAT IT MIGHT
OF DREAMS ON THEIR WAY TO TOMORROW
WITH THE FEELING OF SNOW
AND SOMEHOW WE
FOR HERE IN THIS CITY OF LIGHTS
THE MOMENT IS SEIZED
AS IT CUTS THROUGH THE NOISE
FOR WHERE THEY WILL LEAD
CHRISTMAS
IT JUST HANGS IN THE AIR
THIS EVENING AWAKENS
AS IT RUNS THROUGH THEIR HAND
WHERE SHADOWS THEY DO TEND TO WANDER
LIKE DAY DISAPPEARS INTO EVENING
AND COULD NEVER RETRIEVE
THE DREAMS THAT IT MIGHT
CHRISTMAS EVE
CAUGHT IN THIS CHILDHOOD DANCE
AND EVERY YEAR THIS NIGHT GROWS FONDER
ON THIS NIGHT
THE WINTER IT CONJURES
THE SPELLS IT WILL WEAVE
THE SNOW GENTLY COVERS THE GROUND
MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND THE GHOSTS THAT LIVE HERE
MERRY CHRISTMAS
IN THIS SCENE
THERE'S AN ANCIENT HOTEL
THE WINTER IT CONJURES
IS SUDDENLY THERE TO BE FOUND
AND WHEN THEY APPEAR
AND THEY RECOUNT THEIR SAND
TILL THE MOMENT IT'S GONE
AS IT MELTS ON YOUR SKIN
IN THE NIGHT AND THE DREAM
WINDOWS OF FROSTED ICE
THIS NIGHT WILL HOLD THEM NEAR
AND EXAMINE EACH MOMENT FOR MEANING
HOLD EACH MOMENT SO DEAR
THIS EVENING AWAKENS
THROUGH THIS NIGHT
SHE WILL FOLLOW
IN THE DEPTHS OF A NIGHT
ON CHRISTMAS EVE
WITH THE WHISPER OF SNOW
THE SNOW GENTLY COVERS THE GROUND
AS IF IT WAS JUST HESITATING
OF CHILDREN AND CIRCUMSTANCE
KEEPING DREAMS ON THE GROUND
AND IT COVERS THE LAND
AS THE WORLD TURNS AROUND
MERRY CHRISTMAS
PRISMING CANDLELIGHT
