The snow falls slow across the square, A thousand lights, and you are there. Your voice drifts out the open door, Like every Christmas we’ve had before. (“before… before…”) I see your breath, it hangs in time, The world turns red and tinsel-lined. And all the years we thought were gone, Come back tonight where they belong. The streets are empty but the hearts are full, We trade our doubts for something beautiful. (“something beautiful”) It’s the longest night of the year (“of the year”) But love keeps burning clear (“burning clear”) Every hand that finds its way Turns December into day. (“hold on / we’re here”) Your laughter rings through borrowed walls, A child’s voice answers, then it falls. The table’s set, the past feels near, Each story sounds the same but dear. The lights reflect in every tear, A warmth that’s grown from every year. You smile and say, “just one more song,” We’ve been singing all along. (“all along… ”) Under the carol’s steady glow, The city hums beneath the snow. We dance where joy and time collide, Our hearts still keeping Christmas time. (“Christmas time…") ("Christmas time…”) [Solo] It’s the longest night of the year (“of the year”) But your voice is all I hear (“all I hear”) Every step that brings you near Turns December into clear. (“hold on / stay near”) The night may never end, But the warmth begins again. (“again…") ("again…”)
