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 an hour left before the eve descend When the world feels right In the silent night () Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes I believe that it's all true, 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 it's all true, believe it And understand there is no other time When peace can touch us all Snowflakes falling into morning Time is standing still Heart now hear the angels sing And our new king's born today () Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes I believe that it's all true, 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
