The Lost Christmas Eve

歌詞

On a street in the night In the cold winter's light A child stands alone and she's waiting And the light that's out there It just hangs in the air As if it was just hesitating And the snow it comes down And it muffles the sound Of dreams on their way to tomorrow And when they appear This night will hold them near For where they will lead She will follow For here in this city of lights This evening awakens The dreams that it might The winter it conjures The spells it will weave The snow gently covers the ground Christmas eve In this scene On this night There's an ancient hotel Where shadows they do tend to wander And the ghosts that live here Hold each moment so dear For time's not a thing one should squander And they recount their sand As it runs through their hand And examine each moment for meaning It can be wished upon Till the moment it's gone Like day disappears into evening For here in this city of lights This evening awakens The dreams that it might The winter it conjures The moment is seized The snow gently covers the ground Christmas eve Merry christmas Merry christmas Merry christmas Merry christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Christmas Through this night The dream still wanders As it was meant to be And every year this night grows fonder Of children and circumstance Caught in this childhood dance As the world turns around Keeping dreams on the ground Windows of frosted ice Prisming candlelight And somehow we Start to believe In the night and the dream As it cuts through the noise With the whisper of snow As it starts to deploy In the depths of a night That's about to begin With the feeling of snow As it melts on your skin And it covers the land With a dream so intense That it returns us all To a child's innocence And then what you'd thought lost And could never retrieve Is suddenly there to be found On christmas eve On christmas eve On christmas
