[Verse 1] Snowfall glows on the avenue tonight I traced your name in the window light Through every season, I kept you in sight And now my heart knows where to write [Pre-Chorus] All the years were leading me to this place Every lost December, every hopeful chase When the bells began, I saw your face Like a dream come home in a warm embrace [Chorus] There you are, Christmas, shining through the years There you are, Christmas, washing away my tears I finally found you, through the snow and the blue Every road I wandered always led me to you There you are, Christmas, right here by my side There you are, Christmas, lighting up the night And I know at last, with a grateful heart so true All this time I was looking for Christmas in you [Verse 2] We were younger then, beneath July skies Laughing like forever could never disguise But the love I felt was hidden in your eyes Now it blooms like fire when the cold wind flies [Pre-Chorus] All the years were whispering your name Through the changing seasons, you remained the same Every missing piece was a spark in the flame Now the whole world sparkles when I call you again [Chorus] There you are, Christmas, shining through the years There you are, Christmas, washing away my tears I finally found you, through the snow and the blue Every road I wandered always led me to you There you are, Christmas, right here by my side There you are, Christmas, lighting up the night And I know at last, with a grateful heart so true All this time I was looking for Christmas in you [Bridge] In the glow of the tree, I see what I knew Love was wrapped in wonder, waiting here for you All the lonely nights are fading from view Now the world feels bright, and it’s all because of you [Final Chorus] There you are, Christmas, shining through the years There you are, Christmas, ending all my fears I finally found you, and it feels so new After all this time, I was waiting for you There you are, Christmas, beautiful and bright There you are, Christmas, holding me tonight And I know at last, with a grateful heart so true Every road I wandered always led me to you
