Then he reached for the songAnd he held it in his hand(It was something that he didBecause you see, angels can)And he wondered to himself"Is this the answer that I sought?"But something was still missingOr at least, so he still thoughtAnd so he journeyed onThrough the midnight winter airWhen all at once our angelFelt the touch of a man's prayerAnd looking once more to the EarthTo determine whence it cameHe felt a million souls belowBut one was not the sameFor there he saw a man aloneThough he was walking in a crowdAnd though this man had rarely prayedTonight his head was bowedFor even in a crowd, you seeA heart can feel aloneWhen the night is Christmas EveA child is not at homeSo from a father to the LordA prayer did swiftly raceBut the angel saw it firstAnd he listened to its case

There is an ornament
Lost inside the night
There on a Christmas tree
With a thousand lights

No one can see her
She's standing all alone
Somewhere she glistens
Where no one can see

I don't believe I can say what had happened
All of those words that we put into play
No longer matter, I should have known that then
I just know you're far away

On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day
On this Christmas ....

Somewhere the wind
Carves moments in the snow
And if he sees her
He never lets it show

He just drifts behind her
Erasing every step
Tinsel and garland
Are whispered through trees

I don't believe
I can say what had happened
All of those words
That we put into play

No longer matter,
I should have known that then
I just know you're far away

On this Christmas day
On this Christmas day
On this Christmas ....

Come, Christmas
Stay, Christmas
Watch over her this day
Keep her
Protect her
From harm now in every way

Shelter her
Gently
There in your arms she'll be
Until the day
When you
Bring her back home to me

There is an ornament
Lost inside the night
