In the hush of a long winter's dream Through a window, the candlelight gleams Veiled in whispers, the stillness of night On a canvas of stars in the sky All the world sleeps on in silence Wrapped in a blanket of snow But when the morning awakens The beauty of life starts to flow In the forest where moonlight it shines The grip of the frost on the pines Then the air weaves the warmth of a song Still, the heartbeat of winter goes on All the world sleeps on in silence Wrapped in a blanket of snow But when the morning awakens The beauty of life starts to flow December skies will carry me home All the world sleeps on in silence Wrapped in a blanket of snow But when the morning awakens The beauty of life starts to flow December skies will carry me home
