[Narrated Intro]
If you wonder why she showed no fear
When all these strange things did appear
Perhaps in truth, she was asleep
And these were dreams, and hers to keep
But whether asleep or wide awake
We somehow know when we are safe
And before her child's mind could stray
Another dream was sent her way

[Intro]
Somewhere beyond where the light rarely goes
Somewhere beyond where the dark barely breathes
Somewhere this night where the dark only knows

[Chorus]
She awaits ever patient
She awaits rarely seen
But her moments are taken
For in the dead of the night
Gathering light
Christmas dreams

[Verse 1]
I want to wrap all my moments around her
I want to watch as she glitters the night
Floats her dreams in the air
People watch, children stare
At these tears of captured light
[Chorus]
While she awaits ever patient
She awaits rarely seen
Still her moments are taken
For in the dead of the night
Gathering light
Christmas dreams

[Verse 2]
And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
And it runs to the end where it lingers there
Then it falls through the air of a winter's sky
'Til it captures a dream and it's crystalized
Let it go!
Let it go!
This old world that I know
For soon everything will be changing
In a single glance
Where it all enchants
And every hope is worth saving

[Verse 2]
And a tear falls upon her snow-white hair
And it runs to the end where it lingers there
Then it falls through the air of a winter's sky
'Til it captures a dream and it's crystalized
Let it go!
Let it go!
This old world that I know
For soon everything will be changing
In a single glance
Where it all enchants
And every hope
Every hope
Every hope is worth saving
