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
