The Hour Before Christmas

The hour before christmas-mackenzie porter
Streets are finally emptying
Ten shutters coming down
I'm watching as the city starts to breathe again
The mad in crowd dispersing, people going home
Just an hour left before the eve descend
When the world feels right
In the silent night
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it's all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Like the hour before christmas
Bells call from cathedrals
Star fall from the skies
Children sleeping sound in their beds tonight
Loved ones gone before us
Like footprints in the snow
Christmas cards remember we will never let them go
In that midnight hour
In that silence
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it's all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Snowflakes falling into morning
Time is standing still
Heart now hear the angels sing
And our new king's born today
Sometimes if I stopped you closed my eyes
I believe that it's all true, believe it
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
When angels hear our call
In the hour before christmas
Oh christmas eve
