[Music: C. Ingles, Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: C.Cadden-James]

Outside the twilight rides high

And whispers of love sound deep in the night
Hope and promise of peace in our land
Is this Christmastime?


Dark winter watches our fire
And brings us promise of a new day

Distant eyes have gone a long way

Too far to see the snow that falls

The winds of change have come and gone
The cold has come I've been left out
I need your warmth you're all I have


If you're chasing a dream to nowhere
It's enchantment that leads the way

Just believe in yourself and go there
The gift of hope on Christmas day
If every eye holds a blank stare

After winter's gone away
Just believe in yourself and go there
You and I on Christmas day


There's a time when your doubts won't matter
There's a time all your fears can wait

All the times in the year for laughter
Oh Christmas day
