Lyrics

[Narrated Intro] If you wonder why she showed no fear When all these strange things did appear Perhaps in truth, she was asleep And these were dreams, and hers to keep But whether asleep or wide awake We somehow know when we are safe And before her child's mind could stray Another dream was sent her way [Intro] Somewhere beyond where the light rarely goes Somewhere beyond where the dark barely breathes Somewhere this night where the dark only knows [Chorus] She awaits ever patient She awaits rarely seen But her moments are taken For in the dead of the night Gathering light Christmas dreams [Verse 1] I want to wrap all my moments around her I want to watch as she glitters the night Floats her dreams in the air People watch, children stare At these tears of captured light [Chorus] While she awaits ever patient She awaits rarely seen Still her moments are taken For in the dead of the night Gathering light Christmas dreams [Verse 2] And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair And it runs to the end where it lingers there Then it falls through the air of a winter's sky 'Til it captures a dream and it's crystalized Let it go, let it go This old world that I know For soon everything will be changing In a single glance Where it all enchants And every hope is worth saving [Instrumental Break] [Verse 2] And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair And it runs to the end where it lingers there Then it falls through the air of a winter's sky 'Til it captures a dream and it's crystalized Let it go, let it go This old world that I know For soon everything will be changing In a single glance Where it all enchants And every hope Every hope Every hope is worth saving
