There is an ornament 

Lost inside the night 

There on a Christmas tree 

With a thousand lights 



No one can see her 

She's standing all alone 



Somewhere she glistens where no one can see 



I don't believe I can say what had happened 

All of those words that we put into play 

No longer matter, I should have known that then 

I just know you're far away 



On this Christmas day 

On this Christmas day 

On this Christmas... 



Somewhere the wind 

Carves moments in the snow 



And if he sees her 

He never lets it show 

He just drifts behind her 

Erasing every step 



Tinsel and garland are whispered through trees 



I don't believe I can say what had happened 

All of those words that we put into play 

No longer matter, I should have known that then 

I just know you're far away 



On this Christmas day 

On this Christmas day 

On this Christmas... 



Come, Christmas 

Stay, Christmas 

Watch over her this day 

Keep her 

Protect her 

From harm now in every way 



Shelter her 

Gently 

There in your arms she'll be 

Until the day 

When you 

Bring her back home to me 



There is an ornament lost inside the night 



AFTER HE HAD HEARD THE PRAYER 

THE ANGEL GENTLY SET IT FREE 

AND FOLLOWED IT TO THE FATHER'S CHILD 

IN A FAR AWAY CITY 



AND THERE THE GIRL IN DESPERATION 

WAS SEARCHING THROUGH THE SKY 

FOR A STAR THAT SHE COULD WISH UPON 

BUT STARS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY 



AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT SHE COULD SEE 

THERE SHINING ALL ALONE 

WAS A NEON SIGN ON AN OLD BAR 

AND SO ON THIS, SHE WISHED SHE WAS HOME
