Lyrics:
Take your worries and your cares,
Take a chance on us and throw them to the wind.
You can lay your head on me,
I made a promise, I will be there till the end.
The London sky is never dark,
You can’t even see the stars,
But in a country far away the Northern Lights are shining.
I know that yesterday was hard,
I know today is even harder,
But around the clouds of grey there is a silver lining.
It never snows but always rains,
No picture postcard village decorated white.
But I can go there in my head,
In my dreams and in the poetry I write.
Maybe one day we’ll be there,
Breathing in the mountain air,
No city lights to hide the dark and stop the stars from shining.
We’ll go skating on the lake,
We’ll wrap scarves around our faces,
And together we’ll keep searching for the silver lining.
Ahh, the church bells ring, I hear them calling.
And ahh, the choirs sing, it’s Christmas morning, again.
It’s a message in a bottle,
It’s a hope that lingers, keeping us afloat.
And if the fight has left you broken,
If you’re lost at sea, then I will steer the boat.
And if the water turns to ice,
And the skyline into forest,
You’re in that country far away where Northern Lights are shining.
No more worries, no more fear,
Just the road that lies before us,
Think I knew it all along, you were the silver lining.
Ahh, the church bells ring, I hear them calling.
And ahh, the choirs sing, it’s Christmas morning.
And ahh, the church bells ring, I hear them calling.
And ahh, the choirs sing, it’s Christmas morning, again.
The frosted glass, the firelight,
But where are you?
A single candle burning bright,
But where are you?
Are you still here, in every word,
In every song I ever heard?
I’ll sing you one tonight.
And ahh, the church bells ring, I hear them calling.
And ahh, the choirs sing, it’s Christmas morning.
And ahh, the church bells ring, I hear them calling.
And ahh, the choirs sing, it’s Christmas morning, again.
