Lyric

Joyful lights along the street, where do they go tonight?

Passing faces never meet, hidden in the glow of white

City shines like a music box, a little magic show

Hiding truth and glittered dreams, beneath the falling snow

From the bus across the way, I hear a carol’s hymn

Tonight I just want to care again, take it all and smile again

Crying child in woolen cap, red cheeks in the chill

Wants to hang a star in sky, to make the night stand still

Waiting there beneath the clock, cocoa in his hand

Breathing out a little prayer, he tries to understand

Spinning lights on ferris wheels, trace a silver line

Maybe I could still be kind tonight, take it all and find a smile tonight

Lonely more than other nights

Only ’cause I want delight

Heart compares the joy inside

To every passing light

We collide and laugh, “Merry Christmas” again

A sigh I hold, my dearest friend

Show windows glow like candle flame

You and I are both the same

Every soul gets drawn inside

Turns to light, no need to hide

All the things we can’t forgive

Words we lost but still we live

Tonight I just want to be kind

Hold it all and ease my mind

If I could be gentle too

Smile again with me and you

Smile again with you

At the lights, your voice saw a shooting star

I missed it, but I know how blessed we are

Something warm is in the air tonight

If you saw it too, that’s light

When I feel that way inside, I want to tell

Someone, maybe you, as well

More than wanting to be loved, I’ll try to be kind

Give my smile to every soul I find

Strangers sing the same la-la-la

Phones and hearts on Christmas night la-la-la

Maybe it’s true, or maybe it’s just a dream

Under the lights we hum la-la-la
