The Hour Before Christmas Testo

Streets are finally emptying, tin shutters coming down
I'm watching as the city starts to breathe again
The madding crowd dispersing, people going home
Just an hour left before the eve descends
When the world feels right in this silent night

Sometimes if I stop to close my eyes
I relive the years of true believing
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all Like the hour before Christmas

Bells call from cathedrals, stars fall from the sky
Children sleeping soundly in their beds tonight
Loved ones gone before us like footprints in the snow
Christmas carols remembered, we'll never let them go
In the midnight hour, in that silence...

Sometimes if I stop to close my eyes
I relive the years of true believing
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all

Snow flakes falling into morning
Time is standing still

Hark now hear the angels sing
A new King's born today

Sometimes if I stop to close my eyes I relive the years of true believing
And understand there is no other time
When peace can touch us all
Where angels hear our call
In the hour before Christmas

Oh, Christmas is here
