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



(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



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
