Verse 1
When the gentle snow is falling
on a quiet winter’s eve,
and the soft warm glow of windows
paints the world in silver peace—
then a tender kind of magic
fills the cold December air,
and the heart begins remembering
all the love that’s waiting there.
Chorus
When Christmas lights are glowing,
every shadow fades away.
Every little shining sparkle
brings us hope on winter’s day.
And we feel a gentle wonder
that our hearts have always known—
When Christmas lights are glowing,
no one stands the night alone.
Verse 2
Children whisper little wishes,
hanging stockings by the fire.
And the carols in the distance
lift the world a moment higher.
Every candle on the table,
every ribbon, every bow—
tells a story of togetherness
in the soft December glow.
Chorus
When Christmas lights are glowing,
every shadow fades away.
Every little shining sparkle
brings us hope on winter’s day.
And we feel a gentle wonder
that our hearts have always known—
When Christmas lights are glowing,
no one stands the night alone.
Bridge
And for one small, quiet moment,
all the world seems still and right.
As the dreams we thought were lost
find their way back to the light.
Final Chorus
When Christmas lights are glowing,
and the midnight sky is bright—
we remember what it feels like
to be held in warmth and light.
For the love we share at Christmas
is the brightest gift we own—
When Christmas lights are glowing…
we are never on our own
