lyrics
I never bothered to notice the faces that glowed as the children looked up at the tree
So mesmerized by all the dangling lights
As if there’s something only they see
And I never cared much for all the menorahs
or which symbol was gimmel or hay
But, I promised my mom I’d keep soldiering on
So I’d burn one more candle each day
Chorus:
In the white and glowing night
I sing for no one else
Peace on earth’s not born from bells and prayers
But at least these little lights are there
It’s hard to believe in the lure of the season
The frenzy of frivolous waste
But those jangly noises and caroling voices
They sparkle the bitter away
It isn’t the fuss or the canned seasons greetings
Its more just the feeling you get
When the sky gets that shimmery peppermint haze
but the snow hasn’t fallen quite yet
Repeat Chorus
Is there magic in that frozen puddle?
If I lay down in the snow will I drift?
If there’s live under all that rubble,
It can’t be patched up with a mistletoe kiss
At the end of December It’s hard to remember Whoever you were in the spring
When the night gets so dark you can’t tell where you are
You can always start listening
For the whispering wind and the crackling cinders,
The glittering frost on the panes…
And whether it’s deer on the roof or just hail
You can almost believe again
