Somewhere in the
this night and God
An angel sat a star
thinking very hard
To return once to the earth He had assigned And a gift for all of man He was to behind
But this gift that he was to not be taken from the heavenly court And how he leave something behind If could be brought
Now this was a puzzle And he not how to start When he felt a prayer from a child Reach deep his heart
And his time was limited To this one of the year He could not ignore this child's So he decided he would start
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams were all Somewhere down below on He had felt this child to doubt
A child who should been asleep was climbing attic stairs With her candle And a Christmas prayer
Now, when they are called They rarely appear But more than not gently whisper in one's ear
And when they to a child On nights snow still glistens The are much stronger still That, that child, listen
So in room where shadows live And ghosts that failed time forgives Welcome friends, please awhile Our story starts with one small Who this night in an attic dark Where are stored like sleeping hearts
Now, if you wonder why this child is With all asleep and near She's come up here to look for In this place closest to the
For she had from friends who feel That on this night is real That no truly believe In all these of Christmas Eve
This night that seems to a spell Is the same world, tinseled well And as she lay in bed that She wondered if they be right
And she then who she might ask About question that had been cast For adults, she had told, you see Are of this conspiracy
But in her becoming clear The shadow of a child's
was one whose presence alone Would reconfirm she had known
But this man, he was so seen For he arrived when children dreamed But if what she had was right He should appear this night So on this night so much at stake She's that she would stay awake
But a problem came to mind It seems that had not been kind For their had been closed that year Some bricks might fall, her father
So she had another plan To hear when on the he lands So with the ghosts here by fate this night she sits and waits
Now as I'm you all must know When one is waiting, time slow And as she what to do (her seeming far too few)
The Angel caused that child to Behind a pile of books Among these memories as junk She there a well worn trunk
It was filled with toys and one old And letters underneath Some ornaments, a hand rung And with a gramophone
A mix of forgotten words melodies no longer heard All of long forgotten lives But here they had survived
letters that had caught her eye Now in her hands seemed alive And as each she unsealed A small of the past was revealed
For Christmas weaves a life long And of all remembers well And as that child the past Once that spell was cast
And as the child to read this night of Christmas Eve The plan, as you can tell It was already well So as the ghosts arise In our song we'll summarize
