There in this night
|
There is a life
|
Someone who waits for me
|
Only a child
|
Dreams and a smile
|
Waiting to play
|
|
|
And now she's found
|
Snow on the ground
|
Magic has been set free
|
She's waited here
|
All of this year
|
Just for this day
|
|
And then the night comes alive
|
With lights to dazzle
|
|
|
And everything's extraordinary
|
Nothing is left ordinary
|
|
Christmas has come
|
With its long memory
|
And in my mind
|
It always will be
|
The world that she sees
|
|
Caught in this night
|
Pieces of light
|
Glitter and play for you
|
And made of glass
|
Dreams from the past
|
Wait for this day
|
|
And if you try
|
Look in the sky
|
One star is shining through
|
And on this eve
|
You can't believe
|
It's far away
|
|
And then the night comes alive
|
With lights to dazzle
|
And everything's extraordinary
|
Nothing is left ordinary
|
|
Christmas has come
|
With its long memory
|
And in my mind
|
It always will be
|
The world that she sees
|
|
There on this night
|
Pieces of light
|
There on this night
|
Pieces of light
|
|
Christmas has come
|
Christmas has come
|
|
The world that she sees
|
The world that she sees
|
|
On this night
|
On this night
|
|
The world that she sees
|
|
Then after he had thought awhile
|
The father recalled another child
|
Born in a time now far away
|
And how this child's dreams
|
Had reached this day
|
|
He wondered what that child had thought
|
And when he slept what dreams he sought
|
And did the shepherds understand
|
All the hopes in that child's hands?
|
And how those hopes would still survive
|
As dreams within each newborn's eyes
|
|
* * *
|
|
Then the child heard a clock tolling
|
From a distant city tower
|
And she gazed up at the starlight
|
On this Christmas midnight hour
|
|
And she wondered if these stars
|
Were all but bits of dreams
|
From somewhere in the distant past
|
That somehow, could still be seen
|
|
And she wondered if her candle
|
Upon this magic night
|
|
Could be seen by someone faraway
|
As their own starlight
|
