- LYRICS:
Distant stars, at home up in the heavens.
Wonder what they see, are they watching me?
Christmas Star, you spin your strands of silver.
What a sight to see, are you there to guide me?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light my pathway,
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Midnight stars, they sail the sky in silence.
Hearing all they see, are they hearing me?
Christmas Star, you watch the world so wisely;
At my journey's end, will you be my true friend?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light mine, half way;
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Christmas Star light,
See me on my way.
Light mine, half way;
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
John Williams just casually composes a christmas song for Home Alone which is better than many of the top Christmas songs.
Tom Cork for real. The man is a genius. There will never be another like him.
So true
Tom Cork God yes. So true!
Tom Cork a Christmas song that I listen to year round! This song has been with me a long time !
This song has it's own Personal Magic! I've been in love with it since I was a kid!
Kevin: “Goodnight mom”
Mom: “Goodnight Kevin”
Kevin & mom: (both staring out at night to a star worried).
😥 gets me every time
Also Kevin waving to the kid in the children's hospital
Mr. Duncan: “All the money that’s in the cash register will be donated to the Children’s Hospital”
Marv: “At midnight tonight, we’re hitting Duncan’s Toy Chest!”
Kevin: “You can mess with a lot of things, but you can’t mess with kids on Christmas”
I just started crying and I wholeheartedly blame your comment. 😭
@@live4marilyn *insert music here*
Mom: Say goodnight Kevin!
Kevin: Goodnight Kevin
I think this is the best Christmas song
Lol me too
it is!!!! hands down
yes eventhough it didn't become big... like songs like ''silent night''... but its up there imo
Yes it is....love it
In 2019 it will be for me
This song just makes me cry. I always think of my late mother who loved Christmas. I wish I could see her beautiful face right now.
I lost my father this year, it's my first Christmas without him. Happy holidays to you
You can. Look in your heart ❤️🥲

I hope you’re doing better
As an 80s toddler and growing up in the early 90s, this is the most magical Christmas song to me of all time.

Same.
Same yo. It's magic.
I am sitting here, tears streaming down my face, listening to one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Reminds of little children, innocently playing at Christmas time.
Look for, somewhere in my memory
Same for me😢😢😢😢
None of the songs today can compete with songs written thirty years ago and even earlier. :( I feel soul in this song.
I'm there for you.. We've got this
Makes me want to cry...
Home Alone is all about emotions!
I’m watching HA2 and crying now
me too!!!
ME TOO
Mozman1985 Me too. I’m watching it now
Gotta be one of the best Christmas songs ever written.
I pray that everyone who is going through a rough and lonely holiday season will find themselves in a better place next year. May you be guided through the long night.
Amen to that
Amen.
I hope that everyone who’s listening to this while going through a dismal and lonely christmas will find themselves in a happier place next year.
You too ❤
Some people enjoy their time alone tho. It’s not for the weak
Thank you ❤
Awww😊
@@1SwiftAngelaright lol how you doing?
I just don't know how John Williams does it. Everything he writes just sounds so perfect for the genre and mood he is accompanying. I thought this wonderful piece was a traditional American Carol, but of course, he wrote/composed it. So Christmassy, so innocent and childlike, SO beautiful. John Williams is an icon in American Music.
Mrphilharmonic
Yeah man! For sure! I love all his music especially his Star Wars music too!
Merry Christmas
Check out Catch Me if You Can. The soundtrack is incredible.
Don't forget the lyrics of Leslie Bricusse.
Same. I don’t know how he has such an amazing ability. Lets take a moment to thank him for bringing this and SOMEONE IN MY MEMORY!
I just had to put that all in capitals because it’s such a beautiful song
I’m a huge fan of classical pieces and I’ve said that in spite of the terrible music we have in todays modern age we actually live in an era of SUPERB classical and neo-classical composers
I come back to this occasionally throughout the year, can’t wait for 2024 Christmas, can’t come soon enough
2020 anyone?
i know it's hard time we can get through this don't worry💕
I listened to this song a lot last year. But this year it has a whole new meaning...❤️
@@stirlingite5554 samee
This song is the favorite list songin my Christmas time. 😊
Jesus give strength to all to fight this virus. 💯🙏🤲
Virus aside. We should always be good to one another. And I’m an atheist btw.
This song hits so different. Arguably the best Christmas song ever written.

Covid can't stop the Christmas Spirit. Merry Christmas everyone ❤
Who is listening to this beautiful song in 2019 ?
This is one of the best Christmas song ever
My favorite christmas song, ever!
Me
The song gives me the excited feeling I always had the month before Christmas. Now I’m 17 and time flies and this song makes me nostalgic and sad and a bit happy at the same time. At this point I want to be a child again
Me
the best Christmas song in my personal opinion. no other song embodies the magic, innocence, and purity of Christmas like this one. It also feels nostalgic, painful, and contemplating. Definitely brings up a complexity of emotions which is rare in any piece of music. The flute fluttering in between each pause is the cherry on top. It really makes the song and elevates it from a musical perspective. So beautiful in every way.
Yeah it just heals the wounds
Bless Jesus Christ the season is about him,love and family
I am home alone listening to this masterpiece thinking of the wonderful Christmas time I had with my grandparents. They are not here anymore but my memories will be here till I will go as well.
Merry Christmas to everyone!
great song, can listen forever....

I know... This is late, but it's that time of year again. This song makes me want to smile cry and get a cup of hot chocolate at the same time, I could listen to this any time of year.
Melancholy
@@salv4442 Dafuq?! X'D
Chill man. Here have some Christmas wine 🍷 All the best to you all!
Nostalgic?
There's a sweet melancholy to this.
I still clearly remember the night I watched the premier of this movie. It was snowing and just a wonderful evening. Hearing this truly magical song makes my heart ache for that night again. Thanks for posting!
@@salv4442 You speak bravely over the internet. Face to face it's a different story...
Yes indeed hearing this song makes me reminisce of the good ole days. I miss those days......guess we grew up so fast
liteofmylife very well said
salvador guerra wow someone doesn’t like christmas
@@salv4442 How sad your life must be.
Mama... tell me merry Christmas... from heaven .. need you..!! 💔
Kevin: Good night, Mom.
Kate: Good night, Kevin.
I don't care what anyone says. I loved the second movie. Maybe it's just nostalgia, maybe it's because I'm a native New yorker. I can still watch that movie today and get some enjoyment out of it.
I liked that movie, too. You're not alone.
Good Night Mom Good night Sweetie💖❤️💘💖❤️💘💖❤️💘💖❤️💘Love you
menslady125 merry christmas
I used to wonder why he didn't say good night to his dad :P
john williams ,,, you are amazing. such a great composer
This is THE GREATEST Christmas song
Today is 07/10/2024. Coming back here Christmas Eve to check in!
I don't know what it is about this song but everytime I hear it I burst into tears it's so beautiful Christmas time is such a wonderful time. celebrating the birth of Jesus
Humble Beauty it really is,I listen to it on a daily and just mentally float through the stars
Humble Beauty
Amen🙏
The lords birthday is in 4 months
God bless you and Merry Christmas my friend
Humble Beauty Did you know that at the very beginning of Christianity they considered that birthdays were "pagan" celebrations? It was only a few centuries after the supposed death of Jesus that Christians decided to choose dates for the birth and death of Jesus. December 25 was the day of Sol Invictus, the "Unconquered Sun", a Roman deity, who corresponded well to the image they wanted of the son of God. Also, December 21 is the pagan festival of Yule, feast of light. Many Christmas symbols do not come from Christianity but from the pagans: this is what we call cultural appropriations...
@@leocadieux6781 Did you know that people with your sour grapes attitude are a big part of what's wrong with the world? December 25 may not be the actual birthdate of Jesus, but it is the time when Christians have set aside to commemorate God's great act of mercy and love in sending His Son to bear our sins and die in our place. Now I know you think all this is hogwash, but I hope.someday your eyes will be open and you will see the truth. Until then though, just be aware that there are alot of us who refuse to have the joy of the season snatched away by cold cynics.
Long live the king of kings
Heard this driving home on the radio for the first years ago. I literally began to cry
This song gets me teary eyed for some reason.
This makes me so emotional. I was a kid in the 90s when this movie came out. I miss the 90s so much.
Distant stars, at home up in the heavens.
Wonder what they see, are they watching me?
Christmas Star, you spin your strands of silver.
What a sight to see, are you there to guide me?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light my pathway
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Midnight stars, they sail the sky in silence.
Hearing all they see, are they hearing me?
Christmas Star, you watch the world so wisely;
At my journey's end, will you be my true friend?
Star light, shine bright.
See me through the dark night.
Light my pathway
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Christmas Star light,
See me on my way.
Light my pathway
Guide me home for Christmas Day.
Thank you
Love, loves love! Thank you for this! 😍♥️💯👏🏾
Thank you
Thanks for the lyrics..muchas gracias
thank youu ❤️
John Williams' gift for using musical emotion and imagery is why I consider him to be among the Great Masters.
You close your eyes and you can see the stars glimmering and their light serenely cascading down. You feel the peaceful tranquil love and joy in your heart.
He didn't just write a 'christmas song', he wrote a song that EMBODIES Christmas, Christmas itself in the form of music.
And he ALWAYS does this.
Omg you high man, high on Christmas spirit.
This song should remind us all... of the innocence of being a child....
and how Christmas is seen by them
🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
I sob uncontrollably when I hear this song. It makes me miss my mother, so much. She passed in 2019 and Christmas was her favorite holiday. I still vividly remember watching home alone and home alone 2, every year with her and loved this song, ever since. Merry Christmas ❤
Now I feel bad for you. God bless you bro.
@@xXNikeSGameRXx thank you, man...God bless you too!
So magical and I cried whenever I listened to this song. Every year I came back to this.
Merry Christmas 2019 here!
Me too. 😪
Same here! Every Christmas Eve night I listen to this right before I go to sleep.
Oh. My sweet summer child.
Merry Christmas! 💗
Don’t you wish we was still young when you had no worries. You would watch this movie on Christmas Eve with your brothers and sisters then go to sleep and wake up to all the beautiful wrapped presents!!! I miss it so much all we can do is give our children the same feeling now, they will cherish every moment like we did. God bless everyone reading this❤️ July of 2022
I am crying..too beautiful
This feels like Christmas. When I worked in nursinghomes, lots of residence watched their old black and white movie over and over and over again. I get it now. That will be me watching home alone 2 specifically. The first one is good too obviously but the second one with the city and people and clothes and no cellphones just feels so nostalgic
makes you feel like a kid at Christmas again , a magical and uplifting Christmas song
A beautiful, and somewhat haunting Christmas song. John Williams is the master of creating a musical score that perfectly marries and inspires any film.
This song gives me such a melancholy sound that I listened to it on Christmas day after my boyfriend (I'm in a long-distance relationship) didn't respond to my birthday message or phone calls, he told me he had had a full day with the family and he forgot to wish me a Merry Christmas and I have never felt so alone in my life.. I hope that next year I will reread this message and have someone close to me who truly loves me. ❤️
Underrated absolute banger of a Christmas song
This was always my favorite song in both movies. John Williams nailed this
It’s so heavenly... reminds of good old days...
Young and innocent
those quiet voices bring tears
This song makes me sad it takes me back to a simpler time when I was a kid and I dreamed of so many things in this world
Yessss
It doesn´ t matter if you are not religious. You can ask yourself what you can do to become yourself that star that shines through the lives of those people you love. What can we do for them, to make their lifes better? Every little action counts. Every gesture, every smile or offering or favour or little sacrifice. I am a high school Arts teacher and that is the message I am asking my students to write in their Christmas postcards this year: What can you do to brighten other people´s lives?
This song inspired me the topic. I am in love with this tune since childhood. It brings memories from other happy times and brings light and joy to the heart. We have to thank mr Williams for such amazing masterworks during these decades.
Merry Christmas everyone
Irene García I celebrate Christmas but I’m an atheist. I celebrate it because at the begining it was a pagan celebration...
Did you know that at the very beginning of Christianity they considered that birthdays were "pagan" celebrations?

Thank you for that comment. Very true and warmed my heart. Merry Christmas
@@leocadieux6781 thank you for your comment. I knew a bit about the pagan origins of this celebration and it´s always nice to refresh the memory about them. Very interesting facts!
I want to adopt a child so bad, not children should pass christmas alone without parents ❤😢
This will be the 2nd Christmas that I will celebrate without my dad. He passed away on 9/14/2021. I truly miss him. 💔 When I listen to this song, I imagine my dad, looking down at me, like a shining, bright star. ❤
To me this is best Christmas song ever ❤️🎄
This song, it represented so much for me. I listened to it when I was a kid, as everyone, after watching home alone… it seemed beautiful and sad at the same time. As I think of it, I hear sadness nowadays. I will forever love you Leonie.
Makes me want to cry everytime. Such beautiful music.
lamont946 John Williams can tell a story with his music. He’s amazing. ☺️
this song brings me back with heavy emotions. it brings me back to when I was young and innocent. life moves too fast. this song can really make you depressed when your feeling down.
I know know what you mean
This song is so beautiful, so peace and full of love.
John Williams. My favourite composer ever. Thank you for your magic❤️
"Hey John, we are making a Home Alone sequel, can you whip us up a song for it?"
John Williams: "Yeah, let me just create the single best Christmas song in existence"
This song is so mesmerizingly wonderful! It gives me goosebumps every time I hear it.
So much more enchanting and beautiful than any commercial crap produced in the past twenty odd years
Beautiful song! Makes me think of how much our savior loves us😇❤🙏🌍🌎⭐⭐⭐🌠
This song hits so different it really really makes me feel so happy and ready for Christmas puts me back in my childhood years I love love love this song it brings so much joy in my heart ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
I’d watched Home Alone 2 exactly once before tonight, 27 years ago when it was released, when I was 12 (Macaulay Culkin’s age)... my memories of it were extremely hazy...but the scene where this song was played brought me right back to that night, that moment... being mesmerized and comforted by this song during what was an extremely difficult time for me. And here I am on RUclips listening again. Such a deep, beautiful song. I’m sad that I’d forgotten it all these years.
We are singing this song for our Christmas concert in chior, this is the first time I’ve ever heard this song and it’s so beautiful
Merry Christmas everyone. Hope everyone has a peaceful time and remembers that life is worth living even In these dark times in 2021. God bless all of you. ✝️
2:03 Those horns are so beautiful.
What?
I agree. That part always does it for me.
@@FRElHEIT do you not have ears? Lol
You know, it bring joy to my heart to see a comment section that isn't full of hate especially during these times. At this time Christmas is one month and a couple days away. So merry Christmas to you all and I hope your holidays go great

The best Christmas song ever 🎄💫 even Listening to it on days when it is not Christmas gives a same feeling
I lost my father three months ago...I don't know how I'm gonna spend this Christmas. He'd be the one to decorate the tree and place the star on the top since he's tall. 😔💙
I have a habit of looking at the moon and the stars for comfort. This song touches my heart. My house doesn't feel like home, I want my soul to find solace somewhere.
Watching this as I see the Christmas star on Dec 21st, 2020. Beautiful to listen and see this once in a lifetime event.
Greatest Christmas song ever
Been away from home since 2011. This song hits close to home. Can't wait to meet the folks again soon. I hope everyone is having a great Christmas with family and loved ones.
I dont care if you have done bad on life, crime, murder or anything else. I'm glad you changed your life around. For that, I am proud of you
Im crying rn, im having an anxiety attack, and this calms me down even though its not christmas:(
Stay strong, brother
2022…
I can’t believe John was born in 1932. And STILL composing music!! I wished I could’ve gone to one of his concerts…and I’m CERTAINLY glad this song is still on RUclips!!! In another comment I saw that this is a “timeless hit.” That person couldn’t be closer to the truth ❤
I cry everytime this is played at christmas. Reminds me of family get togethers at christmas.
It’s pretty amazing that we live in a time which John Williams is alive. Including all the greatest composers of all time, Williams can be argued to be the greatest ever. Hard to say that about any other industry or art.
Literally legendary. No less than Beethoven or Mozart. Even greater.
It’s august 2020 in Australia and Loving Christmas songs hating covid 19
This reminds me of my Christmas', back in East Burke, in the North East Kingdom of Vermont. The Village would be lit-up. The sky's a medium gray with some pink, as night is rapidly approaching. Snow's, quietly falling and smoke from chimney's is lying out flat. The sounds of Christmas Music, is heard throughout the Village.
This is what John Williams' Score is telling me.
I hope John Williams never dies
Dachelle Watson With his music, not a chance
That’s going to be a very sad, sad day.
This song for me is so magical, John Williams is so capable to capture true joy, happiness and sadnesss feeling that we may feel in this Christmas, only in one song, this song for me teach us that Christmas is not only about celebration but also that reminder that Lord are like star that always guide us when we feel lonely , emptiness , or darkness in our lives, : "At my journey's end, will you be my true friend?"
John Williams is in the league with Mozart Beethoven and Chopin. His Arrangements in writing of music is phenomenal. I don't believe there has been a better composer than him other than Aaron Copland. John Williams music will go down in history all the soundtracks all the songs he has written in the orchestration. People aren't writing music for orchestras too much anymore this is a solid gift he has THANK YOU John Williams THANK YOU for posting this
“All the money is the cash registers, Mr.Duncan’s donating it to the Childrens hospital.”
There are some Christmas songs that touch your heart so deeply ! Some Christmas songs that you love forever! They age but they never lose its charm!! I’m a huge Christmas baby and out of all Christmas songs in the world I find this one the most special... This one will always have THAT place in my heart! Thank you John Williams. Thank you Jesus our King! Oh, and mom.... I love you. Forever! 💗🌠
I loved your comment.
This song reminds me of heaven! 🥺
It makes me happy listened this song, Merry Christmas guys.

This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Love this song. Takes me back to my child hood watching home alone in elementary school. Picture a family inside the house around the fire and Christmas tree drinking cocoa and playing board games with cold or snow outside and loving one another.
this song is the real CHRISTMAS ✨
Best song ever. Feels peaceful inside.
This needs to be on Spotify.
Without words..... So magic, so beautiful this music...
So beautiful. And many feelings With This song
It can't be Christmas without my home alone movies
Beautiful song christmas is coming
This always would get me as a kid and the boy in the window I felt sad for. As an adult, I've now been the boy in the window. I'm not a crier, but this made me bawl.
It’s the end of August and I’m here listening to Christmas music 🎄
This song was and is ahead of its time
