There's a stillness in the air tonight On the windowsills are candlelight Everyone's asleep and tucked in tight Christmas is almost here So I wander down familiar halls With our favorite pictures on the walls When I ask myself what matters most of all The answer appears It's the joy of children's faces, knowing they believe It's the gathering 'round the table with our family Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone These are the gifts that still live on When Christmas has come and gone When I get lost and cannot see Just where my heart's supposed to be Christmas, it keeps reminding me Year after year It's the joy of children's faces, knowing they believe It's the gathering 'round the table with our family Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone These are the gifts that still live on Like the story of a baby who was born to be a king And his love, it let's us not forget the message that he brings It's the joy of children's faces, knowing they believe It's the gathering 'round the table with our family It's the joy of children's faces, knowing they believe It's the gathering 'round the table with our family Sharing all the memories of our loved ones who have gone These are the gifts that still live on These are the gifts that still live on When Christmas has come and gone When Christmas has come and gone
