There is an ornament
Lost inside the night
There on a Christmas tree

With a thousand lights

No one can see her

She's standing all alone

Somewhere she glistens where no one can see


I don't believe I can say what had happened
All of those words that we put into play

No longer matter, I should have known that then
I just know you're far away


On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day
On this Christmas...


Somewhere the wind
Carves moments in the snow


And if he sees her
He never lets it show

He just drifts behind her
Erasing every step


Tinsel and garland are whispered through trees

I don't believe I can say what had happened

All of those words that we put into play
No longer matter, I should have known that then
I just know you're far away


On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day

On this Christmas...

Come, Christmas

Stay, Christmas
Watch over her this day
Keep her

Protect her
From harm now in every way


Shelter her
Gently
There in your arms she'll be

Until the day
When you
Bring her back home to me


There is an ornament lost inside the night


AFTER HE HAD HEARD THE PRAYER
THE ANGEL GENTLY SET IT FREE
AND FOLLOWED IT TO THE FATHER'S CHILD

IN A FAR AWAY CITY

AND THERE THE GIRL IN DESPERATION

WAS SEARCHING THROUGH THE SKY
FOR A STAR THAT SHE COULD WISH UPON
BUT STARS WERE IN SHORT SUPPLY


AND THE ONLY LIGHT THAT SHE COULD SEE
THERE SHINING ALL ALONE

WAS A NEON SIGN ON AN OLD BAR
AND SO ON THIS, SHE WISHED SHE WAS HOME
