Another year has come and past like moments through an hourglass and at the end of this year's trail an offering, a final tale of love, long lost and then refound and the child by which those dreams were bound of a dusty hotel that was long past old and the shadows and the memories its hallways still hold for things that are old have the best tales to tell and usually, they tell them well and so it's here, my dear children that our story truly starts when the lord sent once more to the earth an angel, with a childlike heart and on this night his mission was to find somewhere on this earth that human that best reflected his son and carried on his work and since this mission from his lord had to be completed on this one night the angel quickly unfolded his wings and towards the earth took flight and this night, in case you have not guessed was once more christmas eve when snow and light and angels' flights all together weave but of the angel's instructions there was one thing more that would make this journey to the earth harder than all the ones before for the lord had also told the angel that he could only use his wings twice this christmas eve once when he descended to the earth and once more when he would leave (not unlike ourselves some think, or at least so i believe) now this put quite a complication in what the angel planned for now he had to choose most carefully exactly where he would land he needed to find a single place that would represent all mankind but humans were such a varied lot such a place would surely be hard to find a single place where there would be humans of every race and creed the rich and poor, the thrilled and bored the failures with those who succeed but after a few moments carefully placed in thought the answer appeared in the angel's mind the city called new york and as he neared that city where all those souls did dwell he felt himself being drawn towards an old, rundown hotel for in a city that usually had guards at nearly every single door this one just had a sign that said "vacancies, there is always room for one more" now why the angel decided to stop there he could not quite say the reason but he thought the sign upon that hotel somehow fit the sentiment of this season now even after all these years the building was still a work of art and though some facade had crumbled here and there most still had their parts the walls were made of granite not aluminum or steel and every pillar and ballistrade still had its artist's feel every gutter had a gargoyle every gargoyle had its wings for angels can appreciate other flying things so he landed on a cathedral roof across the street from that hotel and looked down upon the world below where all those souls did dwell and sitting on that rooftop with his friend the winter wind he gazed carefully at that scene below as he slowly took it in the lost christmas eve on a street in the night in the cold winter's light a child stands alone and she's waiting and the light that's out there it just hangs in the air as if it was just hesitating and the snow it comes down and it muffles the sound of dreams on their way to tomorrow and when they appear this night will hold them near for where they will lead she will follow for here in this city of lights this evening awakens the dreams that it might the winter it conjures the spells it will weave the snow gently covers the ground christmas eve in this scene on this night there's an ancient hotel where shadows they do tend to wander and the ghosts that live here hold each moment so dear for time's not a thing one should squander and they recount their sand as it runs through their hand and examine each moment for meaning it can be wished upon till the moment it's gone like day disappears into evening for here in this city of lights this evening awakens the dreams that it might the winter it conjures the moment is seized the snow gently covers the ground christmas eve merry christmas merry christmas merry christmas merry christmas christmas christmas christmas christmas through this night the dream still wanders as it was meant to be and every year this night grows fonder of children and circumstance caught in this childhood dance as the world turns around keeping dreams on the ground windows of frosted ice prisming candlelight and somehow we start to believe in the night and the dream as it cuts through the noise with the whisper of snow as it starts to deploy in the depths of a night that's about to begin with the feeling of snow as it melts on your skin and it covers the land with a dream so intense that it returns us all to a child's innocence and then what you'd thought lost and could never retrieve is suddenly there to be found on christmas eve on christmas eve on christmas...

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

What is christmas? tinseled fairytales day old stockings lined up in a row what is christmas could someone tell me that? what is christmas? surely, i don't know and everywhere these lights who needs to color night? could this whole thing be planned? i do not understand this christmas trees with colored lights underneath they still are only trees do you think that one day perhaps they might find that christmas is kind of a disease? every year it's waiting for me waiting for me every year it constantly defies placing strangers there before me there before me spreading hope and cheer mixed in with happiness fraternal bliss and other christmas lies! and there's one more thing that i have discovered and i would now like you to know the reason for christmas i now realize is an excuse to tolerate snow snow! i don't even like the sound of it anyway, where was i oh, yes! what is christmas? candles everywhere a fire hazard any other day children light them no one seems to care all for christmas every year it returns here and every year it's waiting for me why can't christmas disappear and just pretend it never saw me every year i get my hopes up that it will somehow just leave but every year i wake to find that once again it now is christmas eve

In a stable in a manger in the cold winter's air in the arms of his mother a child's lying there in a city in a village though the years have gone by the child still remains with the dream still close by and each year on this night that child reawakens and each year on this night that hope rebegins that the dream he has offered might one day be taken for the sake of our brother for the child who's forgotten for the dream that is still lying there o' come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant o' come ye, o' come ye to bethlehem come and adore him born the king of angels o' come let us adore him o' come let us adore him o' come let us adore him christ the lord in a stable in a manger in the cold winter's air in the arms of his mother a child's lying there

Time standing all alone i bled for you i wanted to each drop my own slowly they depart but fall in vain like desert rain and still they fall on and on and on got to get back to a reason got to get back to a reason i once knew and this late in the seasons one by one distractions fade from view so drifting through the dark the sympathy of night's mercy inside my heart is your life the same? do ghosts cry tears? do they feel years? as time just goes on and on and on got to get back to a reason got to get back to a reason i once knew and this late in the seasons one by one distractions fade from view i'm looking for you i'm looking for i don't know what i can't see there anymore and all my time's been taken is this what it seems? the lure of a dream and i'm afraid to walk back through that door to find that i've awakened the night seems to care the dreams in the air the snow's coming down it beckons me dare it whispers, it hopes it holds and confides and offers a bridge across these divides the parts of my life i've tried to forget it's gathered each piece and carefully kept somewhere in the dark beyond all the cold there is a child that's part of my soul got to get back to a reason got to get back to a reason i once knew and this late in the seasons one by one distractions fade from view the only reason i have left is you

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
