[Verse 1]
G                                 G/D
Christmas time in the middle of a city
G                  G/D
Seeking its salvation
G
With every string of lights that suddenly appears
C                   F/C
Children stare with new found wonder
C                F/C
No one dares to break the trance
C             F/C
Every wish is carefully numbered
C               F/C          G
God has granted all a second chance
     C     F/C
This day

G/C  C    F/C  G/C

[Chorus 1]
    C                F/C       G/C
And all at once, the dream's begun
C                  F/C        G/C
And as we mark the old year's passing
C                   F/C   G/C
Strangers greet, on every street
C                    F/C      G/C       Am  G  Am  G
And suddenly there's goodwill ev-ery-where

F              G     N.C.
       There's Christmas in the air

[Verse 2]
C              G/C
 On this night,   to this light
F/C        G/C
 We see it all again
C              G/C
 On this night,   to this light
F/C        G/C
 We see it all again
C              G/C
 On this night,   to this light
F/C        G/C
 We see it all again

C              G/C
 On this night,   to this light
F/C        G
 We see it all again, all again
G
On this winter night, we still wait for you

[Chorus 2]
    C                F/C               G/C
And now the time has come, when all the world is one
C                  F/C        G/C
And as we mark the old year's passing
C                   F/C   G/C
Strangers greet, on every street

There comes a time when we're on   our  own
C                         G/C   C    F/C
Some times in life such a thing must be
C                       G/C  C    F/C
But such a thing should not  be   known
