Couplet 1

When I was a little child
I longed for winter time
I dreamed magical lights

Couplet 2

Wrapped tight around our tree
Brought Christmas home to me
Oh what a wonderful sight

Refrain 1

Can you see
Those magical lights
Held in the arms of
A tree tall and bright
Every evening
Drawn to the glow
Of those lights

Couplet 3

We cut our Christmas tree
It never occurred to me
That tree gave up its life

Couplet 4

To hold our ornaments
Shelter our presents
To help us remember the Christ

Refrain 2

Can you see
Those beautiful lights
Held in the arms of
A tree sacrificed
Every evening
We’re drawn to
The glow of those lights

Pont

Each December
On our longest nights
In the darkness
How we long for light
For light

Refrain 3

Come and see
Those magical lights
Held in the arms of
A tree sacrificed
Every evening
We’re drawn to
The glow of those lights

Refrain modifié

Every evening
They help us
Remember the Christ
