Christmas Eve Glow

City sidewalks dressed in white Rushing crowds are out of sight I’m not where I’m supposed to be Just you here next to me Outside the world is cold and fast But this quiet moment’s built to last No parties no parade Just the silent show the snowflakes made So let the carols fade away Unplug the lights let’s just stay In this borrowed gentle peace Where all the rushing fears release It’s not a picture-perfect Christmas scene No fireplace with a shiny sheen It’s you and me and the TV’s low blue gleam Making new dreams from an old old theme Underneath the Christmas Eve glow Time moves gentle soft and slow Just hold me close and let it snow Yeah the year was chaos noise and static But tonight the only metric Is the rhythm of your breath so light and sweet A melody that makes the chaos obsolete Forget the gifts wrapped under the pine The greatest present here is you being mine So let the old year dissolve like sugar in this wine It’s not a picture-perfect Christmas scene No fireplace with a shiny sheen It’s you and me and the TV’s low blue gleam Making new dreams from an old old theme Underneath the Christmas Eve glow Time moves gentle soft and slow Just hold me close and let it snow Maybe tomorrow we’ll join the stream But tonight you’re the only dream I need A sanctuary in the silent falling white My Christmas miracle right here by my side Let it snow let it snow let it snow Just your heartbeat keeping time In our own perfect silent rhyme Christmas Eve glow
