When Snow Kisses the Windowpane

《When Snow Kisses the Windowpane》

(Gentle piano arpeggios, with a subtle choir pad in the background)

Verse 1:
When snow kisses the windowpane,
And church bells softly sway,
Over silver hills, the reindeer leap,
Leading the sleigh on its way.
By the hearth, an old tale begins to breathe,
Of a star so bright and true,
Whispering light from Bethlehem,
For me and for you.

Chorus:
O,hear the angels’ chorus ring,
Peace has come to Earth this night.
May your heart forever hold this light,
Year after year, when bells take flight.

Verse 2:
A hopeful glance behind each door,
A gentle wish beneath the light.
The frosted world holds its breath in awe,
Awaiting the dawn’s golden bright.
Wrapped in scarves, our laughter takes the air,
A promise in the cold, so deep,
That even the longest night we bear,
Is a secret the stars will keep.

Chorus:
O,hear the angels’ chorus ring,
Peace has come to Earth this night.
May your heart forever hold this light,
Year after year, when bells take flight.

Bridge:
The weary traveler finds his rest,
Where holly and the mistletoe twine.
See how the snow lays heaven’s crest,
A path to the childhood dreams we left behind.
In the hush, a silent prayer takes wing,
On a note of a familiar, sweet refrain,
For the simple joy this season brings,
And the love that will remain.

Chorus:
O,hear the angels’ chorus ring,
Peace has come to Earth this night.
May your heart forever hold this light,
Year after year, when bells take flight.

(Music swells, then softens into the final chorus, sung more intimately)

Outro:
When fresh snow covers every trace,
May every soul find its grace.
On the road the starlight will embrace,
May Christmas live within this place...
In every heart, in every face.

(Music fades out with a lingering, high piano note and a last, distant chime)
