The World That She Sees Lyrics

The World That She Sees lyrics

There in this night



There is a life



Someone who waits for me



Only a child 



Dreams and a smile 



Waiting to play











And now she's found



Snow on the ground



Magic has been set free



She's waited here



All of this year



Just for this day 







And then the night comes alive



With lights to dazzle 











And everything's extraordinary 



Nothing is left ordinary







Christmas has come 



With its long memory 



And in my mind



It always will be 



The world that she sees







Caught in this night



Pieces of light



Glitter and play for you



And made of glass



Dreams from the past



Wait for this day







And if you try



Look in the sky



One star is shining through



And on this eve



You can't believe



It's far away







And then the night comes alive



With lights to dazzle 



And everything's extraordinary 



Nothing is left ordinary







Christmas has come 



With its long memory 



And in my mind



It always will be 



The world that she sees 







There on this night



Pieces of light



There on this night



Pieces of light 







Christmas has come



Christmas has come 







The world that she sees



The world that she sees 







On this night



On this night







The world that she sees







Then after he had thought awhile



The father recalled another child



Born in a time now far away



And how this child's dreams 



Had reached this day 







He wondered what that child had thought



And when he slept what dreams he sought



And did the shepherds understand



All the hopes in that child's hands?



And how those hopes would still survive



As dreams within each newborn's eyes







* * *







Then the child heard a clock tolling



From a distant city tower



And she gazed up at the starlight



On this Christmas midnight hour 







And she wondered if these stars 



Were all but bits of dreams 



From somewhere in the distant past 



That somehow, could still be seen 







And she wondered if her candle 



Upon this magic night 







Could be seen by someone faraway



As their own starlight
