There's a stillness in the air tonight
On the windowsills are candlelight
Everyone's asleep and tucked in tight
Christmas is almost here
So I wander down familiar halls
With our favorite pictures on the walls
When I ask myself what matters most of all
The answer appears
It's the joy on children's faces, knowing they believe
It's the gathering 'round the table with our family
Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone
These are the gifts that still live on
When Christmas has come and gone
♪
When I get lost and cannot see
Just where my heart's supposed to be
Christmas, it keeps reminding me
Year after year (year after year)
It's the joy on children's faces, knowing they believe
It's the gathering 'round the table with our family
Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone
These are the gifts that still live on
Like the story of a Baby who was born to be a king
And His love that lets us not forget the message that He brings
(The message that He brings)
It's the joy on children's faces, knowing they believe
It's the gathering 'round the table with our family
It's the joy on children's faces, knowing they believe
It's the gathering 'round the table with our family
Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone
These are the gifts that still live on
These are the gifts that still live on
When Christmas has come and gone
