So many nights I sat alone
Looking at what I'd never seen before
All that I had there in my life

Only a dark and starry sky

Funny how long changes you view

Suddenly everything so new
And now I couldn't if I've tried
Count all the blessings in my life


[Chorus]
'Til I saw Christmas in your eyes

I never felt before inside
But love it has no end, it all began
When I saw Christmas in your eyes

That silent night so long ago
There it began we've come to know
A mother's love, a father's joy

Hope of the world in a baby boy

I wonder too, Mary did you

Feel something that you never knew
On that first night, you held him tight
Sang him a tiny lullaby


[Chorus]


When you know love, you realize
You are the life of Christmas in someone's eyes


'Til I saw Christmas in your eyes
I've never come to realize
How every twinkle little light

Shines like a beacon in the night

[Chorus]
