It's evening, and nature falls quiet for a moment
The night sky is grey with clouds
Like long ago, I wish I could with a child's mind
Fall into the Christmas reverie
But thoughts of work and the daily rush
Have dimmed the child's sensitivity
I gaze up into the dark winter sky
Hoping to see the Christmas star
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would glow again with the Christmas spirit
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would return from centuries past to lead us once more
As a child I could find it, sensing it with my feelings
And achieve the tender yuletide spirit
Now as an adult, for a fleeting moment
I can still feel its warmth
If only I could rediscover my childlike faith
The Christmas star would still glow
It shines for those who but wish to see it
Lighting up the child's world
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would glow again with the Christmas spirit
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would return from centuries past to lead us once more
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would glow again with the Christmas spirit
I wish the brightest of the stars
Would return from centuries past to lead us once more
