There in this night There is a life Someone who waits for me Only a child Dreams and a smile Waiting to play And now she's found Snow on the ground Magic has been set free She's waited here All of this year Just for this day And then the night comes alive With lights to dazzle And everything's extraordinary Nothing is left ordinary Christmas has come With its long memory And in my mind It always will be The world that she sees Caught in this night Pieces of light Glitter and play for you And made of glass Dreams from the past Wait for this day And if you try Look in the sky One star is shining through And on this eve You can't believe It's far away And then the night comes alive With lights to dazzle And everything's extraordinary Nothing is left ordinary Christmas has come With its long memory And in my mind It always will be The world that she sees And then the night comes alive With lights to dazzle And everything's extraordinary Nothing is left ordinary Christmas has come With its long memory And in my mind It always will be The world that she sees THEN AFTER HE HAD THOUGHT AWHILE THE FATHER RECALLED ANOTHER CHILD BORN IN A TIME NOW FAR AWAY AND HOW THIS CHILD'S DREAMS HAD REACHED THIS DAY HE WONDERED WHAT THAT CHILD HAD THOUGHT AND WHEN HE SLEPT WHAT DREAMS HE SOUGHT AND DID THE SHEPHERDS UNDERSTAND ALL THE HOPES IN THAT CHILD'S HANDS? AND HOW THOSE HOPES WOULD STILL SURVIVE AS DREAMS WITHIN EACH NEWBORN'S EYES
