Christmas time in the middle of a city 

Seeking its salvation 

With every string of lights 

That suddenly appears 



Children stare with new found wonder 

No one dares to break the trance 

Every wish is carefully numbered 

And God has granted all a second chance 

This day 



And all at once 

The dream's begun 

And as we mark the old year's passing 

Strangers greet 

On every street 

And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere 

There's Christmas in the air 



On this night 

To this light 

We see it all again 

On this night 

To this light 

We see it all again 



On this night 

To this light 

We see it all again 

On this night 

To this light 

We see it all again 

All again 



On this winter night 

We still wait for you 



And now the time has come 

When all the world is one 

And as we mark the old year's passing 

Strangers greet 

On every street 

And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere 

There's Christmas in the air 



There comes a time when we're on our own 

Some times in life such a thing must be 

But such a thing should not be known 

This night 

This night 

This night 



And now the time has come 

And now the time has come 

And now the time has come 

And now the time has come 

And now the time has come 



And all the world is one 

And as we mark the old year's passing 

Strangers greet 

On every street 

And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere 

There's Christmas in the air 



THE FINAL LETTER THAT SHE READ 

WAS FROM A YOUNGER MAN 

IT CAME WITH A JOURNAL 

THAT WAS ALL WRITTEN BY HAND 



HE HAD DONE SOMETHING SO WRONG IN LIFE 

THAT HE NO LONGER WISHED TO LIVE 

BUT ON THIS NIGHT HE HAD A DREAM 

AND FOUND THAT GOD FORGIVES 



IF WE TRULY REGRET HOW OTHERS WE HAVE HUNT 

HE WILL UNDERSTAND 

SO HE TOOK THE MESSAGE FROM THIS NIGHT 

AND BECAME A DIFFERENT MAN
