Oh my sweet little darling
How fair you look tonight
The world is drifting gently
Through starry winter night
And all the love I have
Is here for you to show
It shall be your companion
Wherever you may go
And you look so small
Compared to it all
The nights are drawing in now
Snow's heavy on the ground
The candle's burning brightly
And outside there's no sound
We wished for things we wanted
But not for things we need
These times are full of wonder
Come, Christmas, come - Godspeed
Will we see the star this Christmas?
Will it guide us on our way?
I will promise you, I will promise you
That our love will find a way
An old man in the park
Is pulling on a sleigh
He's smiling as he looks up
Into the winter's day
The sunlight's shining brightly
A promise in the air
The churchbells calls the people
There's singing everywhere
And the snow reflects
The dawning of a new-born star
Will we see the star this Christmas?
Will it guide us on our way?
I will promise you, I will promise you
That our love will find a way
Will we see the star this Christmas?...
