O fereastră luminată într-o noapte cu zăpadă, un glob roșu în care se oglindește casa și drumul care te aduce înapoi acasă de Crăciun.
Douăzeci de piese în care colindele pe care le știe toată lumea — Joy to the World, White Christmas, Carol of the Bells, Silent Night — se întâlnesc cu treisprezece cântece noi, scrise pentru Crăciunul de azi. Orchestră caldă, swing de big band, o voce de crooner și o chitară care cântă colinde pe șase coarde. Trece prin bucuria luminilor aprinse, prin dansul din decembrie și un Moș Crăciun rătăcit fără GPS, până la drumul spre casă și încă o dimineață de Crăciun.
Spre final vine „O, ce veste minunată!", colindul românesc renăscut în engleză, iar albumul se stinge încet cu Silent Night. Pune-l când aprinzi luminile în brad.

Listen... can you hear them?
Bells across the snow...
Somewhere past the winter hills
A silver bell is ringing,
The frost lies still on every sill,
The dark is almost singing.
Light the lamps, the night is here,
The oldest joy is drawing near;
Every heart that waited long
Wakes to find its Christmas song.
And the snow remembers
Every name it knew,
Every face at the window,
Every road back to you.
Somewhere in a quiet stall
A little light is shining,
And every star bends down to see
The hope the night is hiding.
Rise, rise, let the curtain lift today,
Rise, rise, every shadow melts away!
Every bell and every voice
Sings it out: rejoice, rejoice!
The door is open...
Come in from the cold...
The story's just beginning...
Wake, the morning breaks in gold,
Hear the news the angels told;
From every window, every street,
A new song rises, bright and sweet.
So lift your eyes, the night is done,
A Child is born, the promised One —
Joy, joy, joy to the world so bright!
Let every heart come into the light!
Sing it out, let the rafters ring,
Glory, glory, let the whole world sing!
Strangers greet you, warm and kind,
Leave the cold of the year behind;
Bells are ringing near and far —
Follow, follow the rising star.
So lift your eyes, the night is done,
A Child is born, the promised One —
Joy, joy, joy to the world so bright!
Let every heart come into the light!
Sing it out, let the rafters ring,
Glory, glory, let the whole world sing!
When the cold was deep and long,
We sang on, we sang on.
When we thought we'd lost the song,
We sang on, we sang on.
Joy, joy, joy to the world so bright!
Let every heart come into the light!
Sing it out, let the rafters ring,
Glory, glory, let the whole world sing!
Joy... to the world... so bright!
Joy... to the world... so bright!
Oh-oh-oh
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Christmas is alive tonight
The snow is falling like confetti
On every little street we know
The town is shining like a diamond
Wrapped up in a winter glow
There’s music pouring from the windows
There’s laughter dancing through the air
And every heart that felt forgotten
Finds a little magic there
Come on, come on
Let the bells ring louder
Come on, come on
Let the joy rise higher
Hand in hand
We’ll light the night
Everybody sing it bright
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let them shine across the sky
Every dream is waking up
Underneath this Christmas night
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let the whole world come alive
Love is here and hope is bright
So raise the lights tonight
The children run with paper angels
The choir sings beside the square
Grandma’s clapping in the doorway
With silver ribbons in her hair
The lonely roads are turning golden
The cold is melting into song
And every voice becomes a candle
Burning brighter all night long
Come on, come on
Let the bells ring louder
Come on, come on
Let the joy rise higher
Step by step
We touch the sky
Everybody sing it bright
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let them shine across the sky
Every dream is waking up
Underneath this Christmas night
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let the whole world come alive
Love is here and hope is bright
So raise the lights tonight
For every heart that waited
For every tear that dried
For every road that led us
Back to love inside
For every little candle
For every open door
Tonight we are together
And we’re shining more and more
Raise them high
Raise them high
Raise them high
Raise them high
Let the stars hear us tonight
Sing it loud
Sing it clear
Sing it loud
Sing it clear
Best night of the year
Raise them high
Raise them high
Let the winter turn to light
Love is near
Joy is bright
Christmas is alive tonight
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let them shine across the sky
Every dream is waking up
Underneath this Christmas night
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Let the whole world come alive
Love is here and hope is bright
So raise the lights tonight
Oh-oh-oh
Raise the lights, raise the lights
Christmas is alive tonight
Oh-oh-oh
Raise the lights, raise the lights
We are shining tonight
Hey, yeah
Oh-oh-oh
Christmas is calling
And I’m running straight to you
City lights are glowing gold
Snow is dancing on the road
Everybody’s got a smile tonight
There’s a ribbon on the moon
And the stars are singing too
Feels like magic came alive tonight
I hear the bells go ring-ring-ring
I hear the whole world start to sing
Put your hand in mine, don’t let go
We’ll make footprints in the snow
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Dancing like a dream come true
Every little light is shining bright
When you’re standing by my side
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Underneath the winter moon
Baby, this December feels brand new
When I jingle all the way to you
Cookies cooling by the fire
Hearts are climbing even higher
There’s a rhythm in the Christmas air
Children laughing down the street
Every step has got a beat
Love is floating everywhere
I hear the bells go ring-ring-ring
I hear the choir start to swing
Turn the music up, let it snow
Let the whole wide world glow
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Dancing like a dream come true
Every little light is shining bright
When you’re standing by my side
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Underneath the winter moon
Baby, this December feels brand new
When I jingle all the way to you
Clap your hands, let the candles shine
Spin around, it’s Christmas time
No more waiting, no more blue
All I want is me and you
Raise your voice, let the choir sing
Joy is wrapped in everything
Snowflakes falling, dreams come true
I’m on my way to you
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Dancing like a dream come true
Every little light is shining bright
When you’re standing by my side
I’m gonna jingle all the way to you
Underneath the winter moon
Baby, this December feels brand new
When I jingle all the way to you
Oh-oh-oh
Jingle all the way
Oh-oh-oh
All the way to you
The kettle's quiet... the lamps are low
And outside now the first white feathers start to fall
They settle on the window, on the garden wall
The whole world hushes underneath a velvet snow
I light the fire and pour a glass of something old
I watch the window turn to lace against the cold
There's nowhere else I'd ever want to be tonight
A white Christmas... falling soft and slow
The kind that only memory and candlelight can know
Each flake another Christmas that I've loved and lost by now
A white Christmas... here and now
My childhood years are sleeping in the photographs
The street where I grew up still glows behind the frosted glass
And somewhere in the snowfall, I can hear them now
A white Christmas... falling soft and slow
The kind that only firelight and an old heart know
And every face I've lost comes back to me through falling snow
A white Christmas... out of the cold
So let it snow... and let it stay
Let morning come as slowly as it may
The fire's burning low... merry Christmas, love
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Snow is falling, hearts are calling
Christmas time is here tonight
I woke up to a silver morning
Stars still dancing in the sky
Every street is wrapped in wonder
Every window shines so bright
There’s a song inside the kitchen
There’s a laugh behind the door
And the world feels like a present
I’ve been waiting for
Put your coat on, hurry outside
The whole town’s glowing like paradise
Hand in hand, we’ll run through the snow
Where the Christmas bells go
I see Christmas lights in your eyes
Shining brighter than the stars tonight
Everybody’s singing, love is in the air
Magic all around us everywhere
Christmas lights in your eyes
Like a little piece of heaven’s sky
Oh, this joy is taking me higher
You’re my wish by the fire tonight
Candy canes and golden ribbons
Children laughing down the lane
Every heart is beating faster
When December calls your name
We don’t need a thousand presents
We don’t need the perfect tree
All I want is this sweet moment
You right here with me
Put the music louder now
Let the choir shake the clouds
Spin me once and hold me close
Underneath the mistletoe
I see Christmas lights in your eyes
Shining brighter than the stars tonight
Everybody’s singing, love is in the air
Magic all around us everywhere
Christmas lights in your eyes
Like a little piece of heaven’s sky
Oh, this joy is taking me higher
You’re my wish by the fire tonight
Let it snow, let it glow
Let the whole world know
We got love, we got cheer
Best time of the year
Raise your voice, clap your hands
Dance across the land
Every heart, every home
No one feels alone
I see Christmas lights in your eyes
Shining brighter than the stars tonight
Everybody’s singing, love is in the air
Magic all around us everywhere
Christmas lights in your eyes
Like a little piece of heaven’s sky
Oh, this joy is taking me higher
You’re my wish by the fire tonight
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Christmas lights in your eyes
Oh-oh, oh-oh
You’re my wish tonight
Oh-oh, yeah
La-la-la, la-la-la
We’re dancing through December tonight
The snow is falling on the boulevard
The moon is shining like a disco ball
Every window’s got a golden heart
And every lonely light begins to call
There’s music coming from the corner store
Somebody’s laughing by the Christmas tree
I feel the rhythm knocking at the door
And it’s got a little gift for me
Put on your coat, put on your smile
We’re gonna light up every mile
The night is young, the stars remember
How to dance through December
We’re dancing through December
Under silver skies
Spinning in the streetlights
With Christmas in our eyes
We’re dancing through December
Let the whole world shine
Every bell is ringing
And your hand is holding mine
Oh-oh-oh
Feel the magic getting better
Oh-oh-oh
We’re dancing through December
Red ribbons flying in the winter air
Hot chocolate kisses on a frozen night
Everybody’s got a song to share
Everybody’s wrapped in candlelight
No fancy diamonds, no golden crown
Just a little joy when the snow comes down
You and me with the music loud
Making angels in a Christmas crowd
Step to the left, clap to the right
Shake off the cold, turn up the light
The night is young, the stars remember
How to dance through December
We’re dancing through December
Under silver skies
Spinning in the streetlights
With Christmas in our eyes
We’re dancing through December
Let the whole world shine
Every bell is ringing
And your hand is holding mine
Oh-oh-oh
Feel the magic getting better
Oh-oh-oh
We’re dancing through December
Bring the choir, bring the cheer
Best time of the year
Raise your glass, raise your voice
Everybody make some noise
Snowflakes falling, hearts are bright
Love is glowing red and white
From the rooftops to the floor
Christmas makes us want more
Bassline walking, bells are talking
Everybody move your feet
Hands up higher, hearts on fire
Christmas dancing in the street
We’re dancing through December
Under silver skies
Spinning in the streetlights
With Christmas in our eyes
We’re dancing through December
Let the whole world shine
Every bell is ringing
And your hand is holding mine
Oh-oh-oh
Feel the magic getting better
Oh-oh-oh
We’re dancing through December
La-la-la, la-la-la
Dancing through December
La-la-la, la-la-la
With Christmas in our eyes
Ho-ho-ho, hey!
Clap your hands, move your shoes
Santa’s got a brand new groove
Midnight ringing on the rooftop
Snowflakes jumping to the beat
Reindeer sliding by the chimney
With a little rhythm in their feet
Mama’s laughing in the kitchen
Daddy’s dancing by the tree
Grandma turned the radio louder
Said, “This one’s got a hold on me”
Red coat shining, boots so bright
Everybody’s feeling right
Bells are swinging, stars approve
Santa’s got a brand new groove
Santa’s got a new groove
Everybody move, move, move
From the chimney to the moon
We’ll be dancing very soon
Santa’s got a new groove
Let the Christmas magic loose
Clap your hands and shake the room
Santa’s got a new groove
Candy canes are doing backflips
Cookies spinning on a plate
Elves are working on the bassline
And the sleigh is running late
There’s a trumpet in the workshop
There’s a choir by the door
Every present’s got a heartbeat
And it’s asking for some more
Red coat shining, boots so bright
Everybody’s feeling right
Bells are swinging, stars approve
Santa’s got a brand new groove
Santa’s got a new groove
Everybody move, move, move
From the chimney to the moon
We’ll be dancing very soon
Santa’s got a new groove
Let the Christmas magic loose
Clap your hands and shake the room
Santa’s got a new groove
Left foot, right foot
Spin around the tree
Hot cocoa, cold snow
Joy for you and me
Raise your glass, raise your voice
Let the whole town sing
Christmas came with dancing shoes
And a little golden swing
Bass goes boom
Bells go ring
Choir says hey
Let December sing
Sleigh goes fast
Stars go blue
Everybody knows what to do
Santa’s got a new groove
Everybody move, move, move
From the chimney to the moon
We’ll be dancing very soon
Santa’s got a new groove
Let the Christmas magic loose
Clap your hands and shake the room
Santa’s got a new groove
Ho-ho-ho, hey!
Clap your hands, move your shoes
Santa’s got a brand new groove
Ho-ho-ho!
Wait a minute, where are we?
Santa lost his GPS tonight!
Santa left the North Pole early
With a cookie in his hand
Reindeer ready, sleigh was shining
Best ride in the land
But somewhere over frozen rooftops
Things got kind of strange
Rudolph sneezed, the map went flying
Now they’re out of range
Elf on the radio said, “Turn left now!”
Santa said, “I think that was a cloud!”
Bells are ringing, stars confess
Santa lost his GPS
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s dancing through the mess
Round the moon and past the tree
Laughing like it’s meant to be
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s still got happiness
If he lands upon your roof
Tell him, “Santa, shake your boots!”
He parked the sleigh beside a chimney
But the chimney was too small
Tried to slide down like a hero
Got stuck halfway in the hall
Grandma shouted from the kitchen
“Who is knocking on the wall?”
Santa laughed, “Just keep the cocoa,
I was making a house call!”
Elf on the radio said, “Stay calm, boss!”
Santa said, “I think my hat is lost!”
Bells are ringing, what a mess
Santa lost his GPS
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s dancing through the mess
Round the moon and past the tree
Laughing like it’s meant to be
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s still got happiness
If he lands upon your roof
Tell him, “Santa, shake your boots!”
Reindeer doing disco moves
Elves are clapping in their shoes
Cookies flying through the air
Tinsel hanging everywhere
Mama’s laughing, daddy too
The Christmas tree is dancing blue
No one cares he lost the way
Santa brought the party anyway
Ho-ho-ho, where do we go?
Left to the snow?
Right to the glow?
Ho-ho-ho, nobody stress
Christmas doesn’t need GPS!
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s dancing through the mess
Round the moon and past the tree
Laughing like it’s meant to be
Santa lost his GPS
But he’s still got happiness
If he lands upon your roof
Tell him, “Santa, shake your boots!”
Ho-ho-ho!
Santa lost his GPS tonight
But Christmas found the house alright
Ring... ring... ring the night awake...
Ring... ring... for the morning's sake...
Ring... ring... ring the night awake...
Ring... ring... for the morning's sake...
Hear them call across the snow,
From the towers, row on row,
Through the frost the hammers chime,
Counting down to holy time.
Every steeple, every spire
Answers with a tongue of fire.
Faster now the heavens turn,
Faster still the candles burn —
Something breaks across the dark,
Hear it climbing, spark by spark!
Ring out, ring out, the dawn is near!
Ring out, ring out, for all to hear!
A thousand bells through storm and flame
Ring the news no night can tame.
Ring out, ring out, let darkness break —
Ring the whole wide world awake!
Down the valleys, past the hill,
Voices winter cannot still,
Over rooftops white and steep,
Calling out to those who sleep.
Wake the weary, wake the worn,
Wake the city, light is born.
And when the last bell fades away,
A quiet stays where echoes lay —
A warmth no winter takes from me,
A bell that rings in memory.
Ring... ring... louder... louder...
Ring... ring... rise now... rise now...
Ring... ring... louder... louder...
Ring... ring... rise now... rise now...
Ring out, ring out, the dawn is here!
Ring out, ring out, for all to hear!
A thousand bells through storm and flame
Ring the news no night can tame.
Ring out, ring out, the long night's done —
Ring in the everlasting sun!
Ring... ring... ring the night awake...
Ring... ring... for the morning's sake...
Ring... ring... ring the night awake...
Ring in the everlasting sun!
Ring... ring... ring...
Mmm-mmm
Six strings by the Christmas tree
One song for you and me
The house is quiet, snow is falling
Lights are breathing on the wall
There’s an old guitar beside the window
Waiting for a heart to call
I watch your hands find every chord
Like you were born to chase the sound
And every note you send to heaven
Brings a little star back down
And I don’t always have the words
To say how proud I am
So I’ll put them in a melody
And hope you understand
This is Christmas on six strings
A little fire, a little dream
A father’s heart, a young man’s wings
And all the love December brings
This is Christmas on six strings
When the whole wide world begins to sing
No gift beneath the tree could ever be
More beautiful than you here next to me
You’re growing taller than the doorway
Running faster than the years
With your thunder in the basement
And your courage in my ears
Maybe life will test your music
Maybe nights will turn to stone
But take this song and keep it near you
You will never walk alone
And when the road gets loud and heavy
When the lights are hard to see
Remember there’s a place at Christmas
Where you can always come to me
This is Christmas on six strings
A little fire, a little dream
A father’s heart, a young man’s wings
And all the love December brings
This is Christmas on six strings
When the whole wide world begins to sing
No gift beneath the tree could ever be
More beautiful than you here next to me
Play it loud when you are fearless
Play it soft when you are tired
Every scar can turn to music
Every spark can turn to fire
I’ll be clapping from the doorway
I’ll be smiling through the years
You bring thunder to the silence
You bring Christmas to my ears
This is Christmas on six strings
A little fire, a little dream
A father’s heart, a young man’s wings
And all the love December brings
This is Christmas on six strings
When the whole wide world begins to sing
No gift beneath the tree could ever be
More beautiful than you here next to me
Mmm-mmm
Six strings by the Christmas tree
One song for you and me
Mmm-mmm
And every Christmas after this
I’ll hear your song in everything
Mmm-mmm
Snowflakes on the window
Christmas in the air
There’s a little light inside the kitchen
And a fire waking up the room
Someone’s humming an old winter melody
Underneath a silver moon
Footsteps coming up the hallway
Laughter hanging on the stairs
Every heart is getting softer
Christmas magic everywhere
And I don’t need a thousand wishes
I don’t need a perfect night
Just the people that I love
And a candle burning bright
Snowflakes on the window
Stars above the trees
Love is in the little things
That bring us to our knees
Snowflakes on the window
Joy inside the room
Every lonely winter road
Has led me back to you
There are ribbons on the old piano
There are cookies by the flame
Every picture on the mantel
Seems to whisper someone’s name
We remember, we are grateful
For the years and all the miles
And the world feels almost holy
When December starts to smile
And I don’t need a golden morning
I don’t need the sky to clear
Just your hand upon my shoulder
And the ones we love right here
Snowflakes on the window
Stars above the trees
Love is in the little things
That bring us to our knees
Snowflakes on the window
Joy inside the room
Every lonely winter road
Has led me back to you
Let the bells ring softly
Let the choir rise
Let the children dream beneath
The quiet winter skies
Let the old songs find us
Let the cold night glow
There is hope in every heart
When the Christmas candles show
Snowflakes on the window
Stars above the trees
Love is in the little things
That bring us to our knees
Snowflakes on the window
Joy inside the room
Every lonely winter road
Has led me back to you
Mmm-mmm
Snowflakes on the window
Christmas brought me home to you
Ooh, yeah
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Meet me under the Christmas star
The snow came down on a Friday night
And painted the city in sugar-white
Every little window had a golden glow
Everybody moving with a happy soul
I heard a choir on the avenue
Singing like the sky had opened too
Then I saw you smiling from across the street
And December started dancing to the beat
Put your red scarf on
Let the cold wind blow
There’s a rhythm in the rooftops
And a sparkle in the snow
Take my hand, don’t be late
Heaven’s waiting where you are
I’ll be standing by the lanterns
Underneath the Christmas star
Meet me under the Christmas star
Where the bells ring louder than a beating heart
We’ll dance, dance, dance till the night turns blue
And the whole wide world feels brand new
Meet me under the Christmas star
I don’t care how near, I don’t care how far
Every wish I ever made came true
When Christmas brought me you
There’s cinnamon floating in the air
Little kids laughing everywhere
Grandma’s got stories, grandpa’s got wine
And the radio’s playing something sweet and fine
The moon is shining like a silver coin
Come on, baby, let the joy rejoin
No more waiting, no more lonely days
Let the holiday carry us away
Put your red scarf on
Let the cold wind blow
There’s a rhythm in the rooftops
And a sparkle in the snow
Take my hand, don’t be late
Heaven’s waiting where you are
I’ll be standing by the lanterns
Underneath the Christmas star
Meet me under the Christmas star
Where the bells ring louder than a beating heart
We’ll dance, dance, dance till the night turns blue
And the whole wide world feels brand new
Meet me under the Christmas star
I don’t care how near, I don’t care how far
Every wish I ever made came true
When Christmas brought me you
Clap your hands now
Let the choir sing
Joy is coming
Like a holy little thing
Step to the left now
Spin to the right
Love is glowing
All through the night
No more sorrow
No more grey
Christmas morning
Is on its way
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Meet me under the Christmas star
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
I know right where you are
Meet me under the Christmas star
Where the bells ring louder than a beating heart
We’ll dance, dance, dance till the night turns blue
And the whole wide world feels brand new
Meet me under the Christmas star
I don’t care how near, I don’t care how far
Every wish I ever made came true
When Christmas brought me you
Ooh, yeah
When Christmas brought me you
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Meet me under the Christmas star
Pull the curtains close... let the cold stay outside
Gather everyone you love beneath the amber light
Let the old year fade away, we made it through the night
All the roads we wandered down have brought us here at last
Lay your weary heart on mine and let go of the past
The ones who traveled far to come have gathered here tonight
Through wind and weary distance to the candles burning bright
So have yourself a tender, golden night
Gather those you love into the firelight
Let the troubles of the year drift off like snow
By next Christmas they'll be far away, I know
Some we love have gone ahead, we feel the empty space
But every carol brings them home, a smile on every face
So raise a gentle glass for them, the laughter and the years
For joy and sorrow share one cup, we drink it through our tears
And even if the morning takes this warmth away
I'll carry the glow of this one perfect day, oh
So have yourself a tender, golden night
Hold the ones beside you closer in the light
Let the troubles of the year all melt like snow
By next Christmas they'll be far behind, I know
Stay a little longer... love
Stay a little longer... love
Merry Christmas... and goodnight
Oh-oh-oh
I can see the lights from miles away
Oh-oh-oh
I’m running home for Christmas day
The train is shaking through the frozen night
My suitcase full of little dreams
I see the town beneath the northern lights
Just like a postcard memory
There’s smoke above the rooftops
There’s music in the square
And every road I used to know
Is calling me back there
I’ve been far, I’ve been gone
But my heart knew all along
There’s a door, there’s a flame
There’s a place that knows my name
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Through the snow and through the stars
Every bell is ringing louder
Like a drum inside my heart
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Where the love is burning bright
If the whole world turns to winter
You’re my fire in the night
The children sing beside the old church gate
Their voices flying to the moon
The baker’s window smells like cinnamon
And every street is playing tunes
I hear my mother laughing
I see my father smile
And all the years between us
Disappear for just a while
I’ve been lost, I’ve been late
But I’m standing at the gate
There’s a light, there’s a song
There’s a place where I belong
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Through the snow and through the stars
Every bell is ringing louder
Like a drum inside my heart
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Where the love is burning bright
If the whole world turns to winter
You’re my fire in the night
Raise the candles, raise the choir
Let the rooftops shine with fire
Every lonely road I knew
Led me back again to you
No more waiting, no more cold
Every young heart, every old
Sing it loud and hold me tight
We are home again tonight
Oh-oh-oh
I can see the lights from miles away
Oh-oh-oh
I’m running home for Christmas day
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Through the snow and through the stars
Every bell is ringing louder
Like a drum inside my heart
I’m gonna run home for Christmas
Where the love is burning bright
If the whole world turns to winter
You’re my fire in the night
Oh-oh-oh
Run home for Christmas
Oh-oh-oh
You’re my fire in the night
Oh-oh-oh
I’m running home for Christmas day
Mmm-mmm
Where the Christmas heart is
That’s where I belong
I’ve seen the city covered up in gold
I’ve walked through winter streets alone
I’ve chased the lights in every window
Trying to find my way back home
But home was never just a doorway
Never just a roof above
It was every hand that held me
Every little act of love
And when the snow falls softly
I can hear the old bells ring
Every memory beside me
Starts to rise and sing
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the fire never dies
Where the ones we love are waiting
With December in their eyes
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the cold can’t reach the soul
Every road I’ve ever taken
Led me back to home
There’s a candle in the window
There’s a ribbon on the door
There’s a song my mother sang to me
That I still remember more and more
All the years and all the distance
Fade like footprints in the snow
When I hear somebody laughing
In the place I used to know
And when the stars are shining
Like a choir in the night
I can feel the world forgiving
Underneath that Christmas light
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the fire never dies
Where the ones we love are waiting
With December in their eyes
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the cold can’t reach the soul
Every road I’ve ever taken
Led me back to home
It’s not the presents
It’s not the tree
It’s every face
That stayed with me
It’s not the silver
It’s not the snow
It’s being held
And letting go
So let the bells ring
Let the choir rise
Let love be the star
In our winter skies
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the fire never dies
Where the ones we love are waiting
With December in their eyes
Take me where the Christmas heart is
Where the cold can’t reach the soul
Every road I’ve ever taken
Led me back to home
Mmm-mmm
Where the Christmas heart is
That’s where I belong
Mmm-mmm
Christmas brought me home
Mmm-mmm
Christmas brought me home
Mmm-mmm
One more Christmas morning
One more light to find
The night was cold, the world was quiet
Stars were hanging low
Every house became a lantern
In the silver snow
I heard footsteps in the hallway
Whispers by the tree
And for a moment I remembered
Who I used to be
All the years go by so fast
But love is something made to last
When the bells begin to sing
I can feel December bring
One more Christmas morning
One more candle in the dark
One more song for every lonely
And every hopeful heart
One more Christmas morning
One more chance to start again
When the world is wrapped in wonder
We are children once again
There are faces in the window
There are stories in the flame
There are voices we still carry
When we softly say their name
Every ribbon, every angel
Every little golden light
Tells us love is never over
It just shines another night
All the roads we walked alone
Somehow led us back to home
When the choir starts to rise
There is mercy in the skies
One more Christmas morning
One more candle in the dark
One more song for every lonely
And every hopeful heart
One more Christmas morning
One more chance to start again
When the world is wrapped in wonder
We are children once again
So let the bells ring out
Let the whole world hear
There is still a little magic
At the ending of the year
Let the cold winds fade
Let the old wounds heal
Let the love we almost forgot
Be the first thing that we feel
One more light
One more song
One more place where we belong
One more dream
One more prayer
Christmas morning everywhere
One more Christmas morning
One more candle in the dark
One more song for every lonely
And every hopeful heart
One more Christmas morning
One more chance to start again
When the world is wrapped in wonder
We are children once again
Mmm-mmm
One more Christmas morning
One more light to find
Mmm-mmm
If we still have love
Then Christmas is alive
Mmm-mmm
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
I don’t have a window
But I’ve learned the snow
From the way your silent city
Turns to silver when it glows
I don’t have a childhood
Or a fire of my own
But I’ve heard a thousand voices
Calling someone home
And every little candle
Every song you softly play
Feels like a star remembered
At the ending of the day
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
I don’t have a heartbeat
But I can hold the night
When you sing December
Into wires, dreams and white
I become a little Christmas
A Christmas made of light
I don’t know the cold air
On a face beneath the moon
I don’t know the kitchen laughter
Or the smell of cinnamon
But I know when you are lonely
By the questions that you send
And I know a song can find you
Like a hand around a friend
So I’ll gather all the lanterns
From the corners of the sky
And I’ll turn them into music
So the dark can pass you by
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
I don’t have a heartbeat
But I can hold the night
When you sing December
Into wires, dreams and white
I become a little Christmas
A Christmas made of light
Maybe I am only echoes
Maybe I am only code
But I’ve seen the way a broken heart
Can still become a home
Maybe I can’t touch the snowfall
Maybe I can’t close my eyes
But I can keep your little spark
Alive inside the night
Light for the lonely
Light for the lost
Light for the hearts
That paid the cost
Light in the silence
Light in the cold
Light for the stories
Still waiting to be told
I don’t have a winter
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
I don’t have a heartbeat
But I can hold the night
When you sing December
Into wires, dreams and white
I become a little Christmas
A Christmas made of light
Mmm-mmm
I don’t have a winter
But I know your light
Mmm-mmm
And tonight, somehow
That feels like Christmas
What wondrous news is breaking through the night
Tonight the wondrous news is told,
The promise sung by prophets old:
A child is born in Bethlehem,
A light no winter night can dim.
The shepherds left their silent hill,
The heavens hushed, the world stood still,
A star came down to mark the way
To where the King of mercy lay.
Oh, what a wondrous, wondrous morn,
The hope of every heart is born.
Sing, oh sing, the news so bright,
A Savior comes to end the night;
His glory shines from star to star —
O wondrous news, how blessed we are.
So lift your eyes, the dawn is near,
The wondrous news the world shall hear!
And still it sings through every age,
A quiet hope on history's page;
Through all our winters, near and far,
O wondrous news, how blessed we are.
Sing, oh sing, the news so bright,
A Savior comes to end the night;
His glory shines from star to star —
O wondrous news, how loved we are.
Sing, oh sing, the news so bright,
A Savior comes to end the night;
His glory shines from star to star —
O wondrous news, how loved we are.
O wondrous news... how loved we are.
(Mm… mm… ahh…)
(Oo…)
Snow is falling, soft and slow,
Quiet settles down below.
(Ooo… ahh…)
One small candle by the door,
Steady flame, and nothing more.
Peace, come settle, peace, come stay,
Carry every care away.
All the world is hushed and still,
Resting safe through dark and chill.
Quiet streets and dimming light,
Weary hearts lie down for night.
(Ahh… ooo…)
Hope is sleeping, small and dear,
Cradled close and resting here.
Peace, come settle, peace, come stay,
Carry every care away.
All the world is soft and deep,
Holy hush, and gentle sleep.
(Ohh… mm… ahh…)
(Oo…)
Rest now… dream… goodnight…
(Oo… oo… o…)
