The Hour Before Christmas

Streets are finally emptying
Ten shutters coming down
I'm watching as the city starts to breathe again
The mad in crowd dispersing, people going home
Just another hour before the eve descends

When the world feels right
In the silent night

Sometimes if I stopped, you closed my eyes
I believe that here's the truth, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Like the hour before Christmas

Bells call from cathedrals
Star fall from the skies
Children sleeping sound in their beds tonight
Loved ones gone before us
Like footprints in the snow
Christmas cards remember we will never let them go

In that midnight hour
In that silence

Sometimes if I stopped, you closed my eyes
I believe that here's the truth, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Snowflakes falling into morning
Time is standing still

Hearth now hear the angels sing
And our King's born today

Sometimes if I stopped, you closed my eyes
I believe that here's the truth, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
When angels hear our call
In the hour before Christmas

Oh, Christmas Eve
