Here Is Christmas - Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson

The night was black and velvet

The stars were all around

A stranger landed lightly on the frosty ground

His eyes were wide with wonder

Filled with stars and space

He’d searched the heavens over

Till he found this place

A sweet and snowy carol echoed in his ears

A song so faint and distant, so strong it drew him here

Here is Christmas come inside

Here is Christmas far and wide

A thousand candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes

He wandered through the city

Lost in the shopping crowds

People rushing people pushing

He watched without a sound

Cash machines were singing about the biggest year

But above this strange confusion

The carol still rang clear

Then he saw a raggedy man with an ancient mandolin

And he knew he’d found the answer when the song began again

Here is Christmas come inside

Here is Christmas far and wide

A million candles burning bright

Here is Christmas shining in our eyes
