🎄 When the World Stands Still (Child-like wonder rock · Christmas Eve)

Verse 1 It was Christmas Eve night and the world felt paused Soft lights in the windows, the quiet applause Stockings were waiting, the clock ticking slow Every second whispering, don’t let this go Pre-Chorus The house knows my footsteps The walls know my dreams I’m trying hard to sleep now But sleep won’t listen to me Chorus When the world stands still tonight And the stars feel close and bright Every dream feels possible On Christmas Eve Yeah, Christmas Eve Verse 2 Blankets pulled up but my eyes stay wide My heart’s doing flips I can’t keep inside The night feels bigger than it did before Like magic knocking on my door Pre-Chorus 2 Every sound feels louder Every shadow glows I’m counting every heartbeat Waiting for what comes next Chorus When the world stands still tonight Every wish is burning bright If I believe with all my might On Christmas Eve Yeah, Christmas Eve Bridge If I stay quiet Will I hear it arrive? The sound of a dream Coming alive Final Chorus Yeah, the world stands still tonight Every star is shining bright Hold this feeling, hold it tight It’s Christmas Eve Oh, Christmas Eve Outro The night feels warm The lights all glow Tomorrow’s coming My heart knows morning’s set
