lyrics
"I Believe in Christmas" or "Northern Star"
It's bleak and it's cold and the year's getting old
The trees have shivered their leaves away
Autumn's fire has turned to ash
City rivers turn to glass
The Christmas lights are very bright
Against the constant grey
It's coming on, like the light, before the dawn
Fairy-tales in suspense
Do you dare to believe?
I've been dreaming my whole life awake
I believe in Christmas, I believe in love, I believe in Christmas, I believe, in peace on the wings of a dove
Christmas before and before and before
And sometimes the glistening snow
We sled down the hill, I remember it so
Under the Northern star
I believe in Christmas, I believe in love, I believe in Christmas, I believe, in peace on the wings of a dove
Let's go for a drive to see the lights
Memory's such a silent knife
The trees and the angels, my mother's delight
I'll close my eyes
Fantasy's real in the magical night
Animals speak, soldiers stop the fight
A man believes nothing, sings carols at night
In the city, the river has turned to ice
I believe in Christmas, I believe in love, I believe in Christmas, I believe, in peace on the wings of a dove
I believe in Christmas, I believe, in peace on the wings of a dove, the wings of a dove
