Intro Lyrics

[Spoken]
In this room where shadows live
And ghosts that failed learn time forgives
Welcome friends, please stay awhile
Our story starts with one small child
Who spends this night in a palace dark
Where dreams are stored, like sleeping hearts

Now if you ask why this child is here
With all asleep and Christmas near
It seems she long ago left home
For reasons that are now unknown

And time it erased her tracks
Until she felt she could not go back
But this night will take her in
And here our story does begin
For also here, inside this night
Hidden deep and out of sight
Is one who came to be it seems
The caretaker of forgotten dreams

"Dear Mom and Dad...
I don't know how to ask this
I'm so sorry for--
I would like to please come home
If you could please send me ..."
And he watched this child arrive
Into a world where dreams survive
And in her eyes he saw the cost
Of every dream that she had lost

And he believes if you change one night
It's possible to change a life

And now with life long gone dim
He awakes the magic still within
And at midnight on this Christmas Eve
A Christmas spell he starts to weave
