A E F#m
Walking along the sidewalk
Hiding behind a corner
While I tried to answer
A E F#m
Watching the children play
A boy turned around to say:
The boy disappeared in the night
D (E) A
I have seen
"I have seen
On my own
E F#m D A
Smiling faces waiting for christmas day
a thousand people crying on a christmas day"
I was left there wondering if he was right
(E F#m E A E F#m E)
A E F#m E
And I began to think about it
A E F#m E
Was it ever meant to be that way
A E F#m E
"Love is the answer" said a voice in the crowd and
A H E
I saw that boy run away
C#m H A H C#m
"Why don't you stay? Where did you hide?
H
Will I see you again?
C#m H E
Why don't you stay?"
A E F#m
And as I stood there alone
A E F#m
Staring into the night
E A E F#m E A (E F#m)
I have seen a thousand people searching for the light
A E F#m
If you are lost and lonely
A E F#m
If you're alone today
E A
Find that boy
E F#m
And let him show you
A E F#m E
And he will care about you when the night is long
A E F#m E
He will make you smile again and sing along
A E F#m D
Let's join our hands and let us pray
A E A
For love on christmas day
A E F#m D
Let's join our hands and let us pray
A E A
For love on christmas day
