Christmas time in the middle of a city   Seeking its salvation   With every string of lights   That suddenly appears     Children stare with new found wonder   No one dares to break the trance   Every wish is carefully numbered   And God has granted all a second chance   This day     And all at once   The dream's begun   And as we mark the old year's passing   Strangers greet   On every street   And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere   There's Christmas in the air     On this night   To this light   We see it all again   On this night   To this light   We see it all again     On this night   To this light   We see it all again   On this night   To this light   We see it all again   All again     On this winter night   We still wait for you     And now the time has come   When all the world is one   And as we mark the old year's passing   Strangers greet   On every street   And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere   There's Christmas in the air     There comes a time when we're on our own   Some times in life such a thing must be   But such a thing should not be known   This night   This night   This night     And now the time has come   And now the time has come   And now the time has come   And now the time has come   And now the time has come     And all the world is one   And as we mark the old year's passing   Strangers greet   On every street   And suddenly there's goodwill everywhere   There's Christmas in the air     THE FINAL LETTER THAT SHE READ   WAS FROM A YOUNGER MAN   IT CAME WITH A JOURNAL   THAT WAS ALL WRITTEN BY HAND     HE HAD DONE SOMETHING SO WRONG IN LIFE   THAT HE NO LONGER WISHED TO LIVE   BUT ON THIS NIGHT HE HAD A DREAM   AND FOUND THAT GOD FORGIVES     IF WE TRULY REGRET HOW OTHERS WE HAVE HUNT   HE WILL UNDERSTAND   SO HE TOOK THE MESSAGE FROM THIS NIGHT   AND BECAME A DIFFERENT MAN
