The Hour Before Christmas

1. 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.

[Chorus:]
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.

2. 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.

[Chorus:]
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.

[Chorus:]
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.
