NARRATION
And so it was in front of this hotel
our angel did finally arrive
and standing at one corner was a young man
who caught the angel?s eye
he had a small group of children
gathered round him there
who all were quietly listening
which for children is quite rare
he was telling them christmas tales
and each one brought more children near
where they nestled round him on those steps
so each word they could clearly hear
he then told them a christmas story
about how all men are brothers
and when that story had ended
the children clamored for another
?where does christmas go
when its day is through?
where does christmas go,? they asked,
?and what does christmas do??
now children have such simple requests
their wishes are so small
that the young man saw no reason why
he could not grant them all
CHRISTMAS DREAM
Somewhere beyond where the light rarely goes
somewhere beyond where the dark barely breathes
somewhere this night where the dark only knows
she awaits ever patient
she awaits rarely seen
but her moments are taken
for in the dead of the night
gathering light
christmas dreams
i want to wrap all my moments around her
i want to watch as she glitters the night
floats her dreams in the air
people watch, children stare
at these tears of captured light
while she awaits ever patient
she awaits rarely seen
still her moments are taken
for in the dead of the night
gathering light
christmas dreams
and a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
and it runs to the end where it lingers there
then it falls through the air of a winter?s sky
till it captures a dream and it?s crystalized
let it go!
let it go!
this old world that i know
for soon everything will be changing
in a single glance
where it all enchants
and every hope is worth saving
and a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
and it runs to the end where it lingers there
then it falls through the air of a winter?s sky
till it captures a dream and it?s crystalized
let it go!
let it go!
this old world that i know
for soon everything will be changing
in a single glance
where it all enchants
and every hope
every hope
every hope is worth saving
