O' Come All Ye Faithful / O Holy Night - Narrated Version
In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed, learn time forgives
Welcome friends. Please, stay awhile.
Our story starts with one small child,
Who spends this night in a palace dark,
Where dreams are stored like sleeping hearts.
Now if you wonder why this child is here,
With all asleep and Christmas near,
It seems she long ago left home,
For reasons that are now unknown.
And time, it has erased her tracks
Until she felt she could not go back.
But this night will take her in,
So it’s here our story does begin.
For also here, inside this night
Hidden deep and out of sight
Is one, who came to be, it seems
The caretaker of forgotten dreams.
“Dear Mom and Dad, I...I don’t know how to ask this. I’m sorry for … I would like to please come home. If you could please send me …”
And as he watched this child arrive,
Into this world where dreams survive.
And in her eyes he saw the cost,
Of every dream that she had lost.
And he believes if you change one night,
It’s possible to change a life.
And now with lights long gone dim
He awakes the magic still within
And at midnight on this Christmas Eve
A Christmas spell he starts to weave. - Good King Joy - Narrated VersionLyrics
Good King Joy - Narrated Version
So in this world of strange illusions and cinematic dreams
A child and her protector watched a tale about what Christmas meansGood King Joy
Joy to the world
The Lord has come
Let Earth
Receive her King
Now it was long ago
When it all began
Back in Bethlehem
In the Promised Land
When a single star
Appeared in the sky
And three kings saw
And they each asked why
And they checked the books
Full of prophecy
And the one king said
Why it's plain to me
You see it means
That a King is born
Who will save mankind
On this blessed morn’
So they packed some gold
Myrrh and frankincense
On some old camel
With some fancy tents
Closed down the house
Set the servants free
And three kings rode
Into history
It was long ago
In a foreign land
When the Lord looked down
Said to make a stand
So He sent His son
And said, 'Through Him you'll know me!'
Then the angels came
And when they start to sing
All at once the past
It doesn't mean a thing
And the star comes out
And the wise men say, “Hey show me!”
And they followed it
Over hills and sand
Til' they found the Child
Like it all was planned
And as they knelt before
The newborn King
The angels were singing
In their angel style
How all of our hopes
Had come down to this Child - Christmas Dreams - Narrated VersionLyrics
Christmas Dreams - Narrated Version
If you wonder why she showed no fear,
When all these strange things did appear,
Perhaps in truth, she was asleep,
And these were dreams, and hers to keep.
But whether asleep or wide awake
We somehow know when we are safe.
And before her child’s mind could stray,
Another dream was sent her way.Christmas Dreams
Somewhere beyond where the light rarely goes
Somewhere beyond where the dark barely breathes
Somewhere this night where the dark only knows
She awaits ever patient
She awaits rarely seen
But her moments are taken
For in the dead of the night
Gathering light
Christmas dreams
I want to wrap all my moments around her
I want to watch as she glitters the night
Floats her dreams in the air
People watch, children stare
At these tears of captured light
While she awaits ever patient
She awaits rarely seen
Still her moments are taken
For in the dead of the night
Gathering light
Christmas dreams
And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
And it runs to the end where it lingers there
Then it falls through the air of a winter’s sky
Till it captures a dream and it’s crystalized
Let it go!
Let it go!
This old world that I know
For soon everything will be changing
In a single glance
Where it all enchants
And every hope is worth saving
And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
And it runs to the end where it lingers there
Then it falls through the air of a winter’s sky
Till it captures a dream and it’s crystalized
Let it go!
Let it go!
This old world that I know
For soon everything will be changing
In a single glance
Where it all enchants
And every hope
Every hope
Every hope is worth saving - Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24 - Narrated VersionLyrics
Christmas Eve / Sarajevo 12/24 - Narrated Version
He took her to a corner
With an old kinescope
That long ago spilled out dreams
And would again he hoped.
And placing a coin in its slot,
He bid her “Look Inside.”
Where shadows from the distant past
Could once more come alive. - Christmas Canon - Narrated VersionLyrics
Christmas Canon - Narrated Version
And every dream that herein sleeps
Has a child whose heart it keeps.
And now for someone else’s sake,
One by one those dreams awake.Christmas Canon
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

The hope that he brings
The hope that he brings
The hope that he brings
The hope that he brings
This night
We pray
Our lives
Will show
This dream
He had
Each child
Still knows
We are waiting
We have not forgotten
On this night
On this night
On this very Christmas night - What Child is This? - Narrated VersionLyrics
What Child is This? - Narrated Version
He handed her a program,
From a show that was long gone,
And pointed to the stage again,
Where the memories lingered on.What Child Is This
What child is this
Who laid to rest
That I now find here sleeping?
Do angels keep the dreams we seek
While our hearts lie bleeding?
Could this be Christ the King
Whose every breath the angels bring?
Could this be the face of God, this child, the son I once carried?
What child is this
Who is so blessed he changes all tomorrows?
Replacing tears with reborn years
In hearts once dark and hollow
Could this be Christ the King
Whose every breath the angels bring?
Could this be the face of God, this child, the son I once carried?
In the dead of the night
As his life slips away
As he reads by the light
Of a star faraway
Holding on
Holding off
Holding out
Holding in
Could you be this old
And have your life just begin?
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
It begins
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
Tell me how many times can this story be told
After all of these years it should all sound so old
But it somehow rings true in the back of my mind
As I search for a dream that words can no longer define
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
And the time
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
And the time and the years
And the tears and the cost
And the hopes and the dreams
Of each child that is lost
And the whisper of wings
In the cold winter’s air
As the snow it comes down
And visions appear everywhere
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
In the air
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
In the dead of the night
As his life slips away
As he reads by the light
Of a star faraway
Holding on
Holding off
Holding out
Holding in
Could you be this old
And have your life just begin
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
It begins
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
It begins
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
It begins
Reading by the light of a lost Christmas Day
It begins - Music Box Blues - Narrated VersionLyrics
Music Box Blues - Narrated Version
Remember last Christmas Eve
When we sat next to our first tree
Ornaments reflected light
Of a candle in the night
And I gave you a music box
Back then that seemed like so much
We watched it go round and round
As the melodies unwound
But all these things are now long gone
And not to be wished upon again
But the music box continues to turn
The candle in the window continues to burn
But I know they're just memories
Like Christmas past and you and me
Remember that old fireplace
That held the room in warm embrace
And as we watched for Christmas ghosts
The fire held the shadows close
But now upon that Christmas scene
The candle wax of melted dreams
And ornaments of shattered glass
Now belonging to the past
But all these things are now long gone
And not to be wished upon again
But the music box continues to turn
The candle in the window continues to burn
But I know they're just memories
Like Christmas past and you and me
I miss you baby
Oh yes, I do
And it's been far too long
Since I last laid eyes on you
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
I got the candle lit for you to see
And beside this window I will wait
For inside this night it's not too late
I got the lights
Up on the tree
They're shining bright
If you'd just believe
Just believe with me
The candles burning
You know I'm gonna wait
The clock keeps turning
But I know it's not
I know it's not too late
I got the lights upon the Christmas tree
I got the candle lit for you to see
And beside this window I will wait
For inside this night
I know it's not too late - Promises to Keep - Narrated VersionLyrics
Promises to Keep - Narrated Version
The most magical thing about this night,
We will now reiterate,
Is no matter where you are in life,
It never is too late.Promises To Keep
Christmas time
On a cold December morning
All is calm
And the world is still asleep
Christmas lights
That have been caught without warning
Gently glitter on
Stars to wish upon
All the world is at peace
Christmas time and the year will soon be leaving
Cloaked in time til it's just a memory
Christmas stays if we don't forget its meaning
Days go quickly by
Years they multiply
And we go searching for thee
And the dream is still alive
From that first December morning
And it always will survive
As long as we can see
That the dreams we find in life
Are the dreams we tend to seek
And Christmas has its promises to keep
Christmas time
And the moment’s just beginning
From last night
When we'd wished upon a star
If our kindness
This day is just pretending
If we pretend long enough
Never giving up
It just might be who we are - This Christmas Day - Narrated VersionLyrics
This Christmas Day - Narrated Version
And it’s good that we remember,
Just as soon as we’ve discovered,
The things we do in life,
Will often end up touching others.
So from a fading distant star
somewhere shining in the night,
We find a father far away,
Now reflecting in it’s light.This Christmas Day
So, tell me Christmas
Are we wise
To believe in things we never see
Are prayers just wishes in disguise
And are these wishes being granted me
For now I see
The answering
To every prayer I've prayed
She's coming home this Christmas Day
So tell me Christmas
Are we kind
More this day than any other day
Or is it only in our mind
And must it leave when you have gone away
It's different now
It's changed somehow
And now you're here to stay
She's coming home this Christmas Day
And all at once the world
It doesn't seem the same
And in a single night
You know it all has changed
And everything is now as it should be
I have the ornament
I have the perfect tree
I have a string of lights
I have a chance to see
Everything that my heart thought could be
For of all the dreams
You were the first I knew
And every other one
Was a charade of you
You stayed close when I was far away
In the darkest night
You always were the star
That always took us in
No matter who we are
And so she's coming home this
Christmas Day - First Snow - Narrated VersionLyrics
First Snow - Narrated Version
And so the story is over,
And it’s time to take our leave,
But may god keep you and protect you.
On this and every Christmas Eve.
