Put away the colored lights Set aside the tinsel trees Step out into the night with me Christmas Eve is there, wait and see I'm away from the fireside Feel the heat of the flames subside Filter a sleep, deep under the snow Softly above, the stars shiver and glow ♪ Trees that with the winter flood Spring through life but pay the cost Slowly painfully leaves still rise Reaching longing arms through the sky Hear melodies no one can play Earth whispers what no words can say Christmas Carol's the winds blowed away
