[Verse 1]
Am G/B Am G
In the night Was the dark, In the dark Was the dream
Am G/B Am G
In the dream Was the Child, And myself There unseen
Am G/B Am G
In the book was the word, In the word there was truth
Am G/B Am G
In the truth there was age, In the age there was youth
Am G/B Am G
And I said to the Child, Do your hands they still bleed
Am G/B Am G
After all of this time, Do you think there's still need
Am G/B Am G
But the Child only smiled, And said not a word
Am G/B Am G
And the snow it came down, As if it hadn't heard
Am G F
[Chorus 1]
F
And all that night the snow came down
C
To heal the scars our lives had found
G/B Am Asus2/G Am
And the years that lay broken
F
And there upon that bridge of dreams
C
Across the night we walked unseen
G/B Am Asus2/G
With no words ever spoken
[Bridge]

Am G/B Am G
And then on through that night, We did walk for a while
Am G/B Am G
And our steps turned to blocks, And the blocks turned to miles
Am G/B Am G
Then we followed a path, For as far as we could
Am G/B Am G
Till we found ourselves there, In an evergreen wood
Am G/B Am G
There were thousands of candles, Upon every tree
Am G/B Am G
It was beautiful, But there was one mystery
Am G/B Am G
For with all of those candles, You must understand
Am G/B Am G
That the only one lit, Was now there in His hand
Am G G
[Chorus 2]
F
And there upon that Christmas scene
C
The candle wax of melted dreams
G/B Am Asus2/G Am
And the years they had taken
F
And there's that snow did gently fall
C
We one by one relit them all
G/B Am Asus2/G Am
Till each dream was awakened
Asus2/G Am

And then there to that light, This young Child showed to me
G5 Am7 C D
All the things that he dreamt, All the things that might be
G5 Am7 C D
How for everything given, That something is gained
G5 Am7 C D G5
Strike one match in the dark, And all the world's not the same
Am7 C D
G5 Am7 C D
And then I asked that Child, Why this night has a star
G5 Am7 C D
And he said, "So we'd know, That we could see that far"
G5 Am7 C D
And these candles are wed, To that star's distant light
G5 Am7 C D G5
And it all came to be, Upon that long winter's night

That long winter's night

[Verse 4]
Am G/B Am G
And when I awoke, well the Child he was gone
Am G/B Am G
But somewhere in my mind, I believe he lives on
Am G/B Am G
And somewhere in my life, Between here and the end
Am G/B Bm7 G
On a long winter's night, I will dream him a-gain
