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

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

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

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
