Em  D  Bm  C

[VERSE 1]
             Em     D      Bm     C
There’s a stillness in the air tonight
         Em     D         Bm     C
On the window-sills are candle-lights
       Em     D         Bm        C
Every-one’s asleep and tucked in tight
Bm             D     Em
Christmas is almost here

[VERSE 2]
        Em     D      Bm     C
So I wandered down familiar halls
            Em       D     Bm       C
With our favorite pictures on the walls
     Em      D                  Bm      C
When I ask myself what matters most of all
      Em     Dsus4 - D
The answer appears

[CHORUS]
G                  Em
It’s the joy on children’s faces
C               Dsus4 - D
Knowing they believe
G                  Em              C         D
It’s a gathering ‘round the table with the family
Bm                Em             Bm                  C
Sharing all the mem’ries of our loved ones who have gone
Em               D         Bm        C
These are the gifts that still live on
         Em         D        Em   D   Bm   C
When Christmas has come and gone

[VERSE 3]
Em          D         Bm    C
When I get lost and cannot see
Em              D        Bm       C
Just where my heart’s supposed to be
Em             D      Bm     C
Christmas it keeps reminding me
Em         Dsus4 - D
Year after year (year after year)

[CHORUS]
G                  Em
It’s the joy on children’s faces
C               Dsus4 - D
Knowing they believe (knowing they believe)
G                  Em              C         D
It’s the gathering ‘round the table with the family
Bm                Em             Bm                  C
Sharing all the mem’ries of our loved ones who have gone
Em              D         Bm        C
These are the gifts that still live on

[BRIDGE]
          Em         Bm
Like the story of a baby
         C            Dsus4 - D
Who was born to be a King
         Em                 C
And His love that let’s us not forget
      Am              D                           A
The message that He brings (the message that He brings)
