[Verse] 1
A    Bm
On a street in the night
In the cold winter's light
  G                            A
A child stands alone and she's waiting
        Bm
And the light that's out there
It just hangs in the air
   G                  A
As if it was just hesitating

        Bm
And the snow it comes down
And it muffles the sound
   G                           A
Of dreams on their way to tomorrow
    Bm
And when they appear
This night will hold them near
    G
For where they will lead
         A
She will follow

[Chorus] 1

E
For here in this city of lights
     F#
This evening awakens
The dreams that it might
    E
The winter it conjures
The spells it will weave
    F
The snow gently covers the ground
          Bm G A
Christmas eve

[Verse] 2
        Bm
In this scene
On this night
There's an ancient hotel
       G                      A
Where shadows they do tend to wander
        Bm
And the ghosts that live here
Hold each moment so dear
    G                             A
For time's not a thing one should squander
         Bm
And they recount their sand
As it runs through their hand
    G                       A
And examine each moment for meaning
       Bm
It can be wished upon
Till the moment it's gone
     G                   A
Like day disappears into evening

[Chorus] 2
E
For here in this city of lights
     F#
This evening awakens
The dreams that it might
    E
The winter it conjures
The moment is seized
    F#
The snow gently covers the ground
          Bm  G A Bm
Christmas eve
      G
Merry christmas
      A
Merry christmas
       Bm
Merry christmas
      G
Merry christmas

[Bridge]
Bm
Through this night
    G           A
The dream still wanders
   Bm              G   A
As it was meant to be
    Bm              G           A
And every year this night grows fonder
   G
Of children and circumstance
Caught in this childhood dance
A
As the world turns around
Keeping dreams on the ground

G
Windows of frosted ice
Prisming candlelight
    A
And somehow we
Start to believe
       Bm
In the night and the dream
As it cuts through the noise
         G
With the whisper of snow
      A
As it starts to deploy
       Bm
In the depths of a night
That's about to begin
         G
With the feeling of snow
      A
As it melts on your skin
       Bm
And it covers the land
With a dream so intense
     G
That it returns us all
     A
To a child's innocence
         Bm
And then what you'd thought lost
And could never retrieve
   G                    A
Is suddenly there to be found
             Bm  G A
On christmas eve
             Bm G A
On christmas eve

[Outro]
Bm G A Bm G A Bm A Bm G A Bm
On christmas...
