christmas in the air

christmas time in the middle of a city

seeking its salvation

with every string of lights

that suddenly appears

children stare with new found wonder

no one dares to break the trance

every wish is carefully numbered

and god has granted all a second chance

this day

and all at once

the dream's begun

and as we mark the old year's passing

strangers greet

on every street

and suddenly there's goodwill everywhere

there's christmas in the air

on this night

to this light

we see it all again

on this night

to this light

we see it all again

on this night

to this light

we see it all again

on this night

to this light

we see it all again

all again

on this winter night

we still wait for you

and now the time has come

when all the world is one

and as we mark the old year's passing

strangers greet

on every street

and suddenly there's goodwill everywhere

there's christmas in the air

there comes a time when we're on our own

some times in life such a thing must be

but such a thing should not be known

this night

this night

this night

and now the time has come

and now the time has come

and now the time has come

and now the time has come

and now the time has come

and all the world is one

and as we mark the old year's passing

strangers greet

on every street

and suddenly there's goodwill everywhere

there's christmas in the air

the final letter that she read

was from a younger man

it came with a journal

that was all written by hand

he had done something so wrong in life

that he no longer wished to live

but on this night he had a dream

and found that god forgives

if we truly regret how others we have hunt

he will understand

so he took the message from this night

and became a different man
