Here Is Christmas - Lillian Axe

The night was black and velvet,

the stars were all around

A stranger landed lightly

on the frosty ground

His eyes were wide with wonder,

filled with stars and space

He’d searched the heavens over

till he’d found this place

A sweet and snowy carol

echoed in his ears

A song so feint and distant,

so strong it drew him here

Here is Christmas, come inside

Here is Christmas, far and wide

A thousand candles

burning bright

Here is Christmas

shining in our eyes

He wandered through the city,

lost in the shopping crowds

People rushing, people pushing,

he watched without a sound

the cash machines were singing

about the biggest year

But above this strange confusion,

the carol still rang clear

Then he saw a raggedy man

with an ancient mandolin

And he knew he’d found the answer

when the song began again

Here is Christmas, come inside

Here is Christmas, far and wide

A thousand candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes Here is Christmas, come inside

Here is Christmas, far and wide

A million candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
