Lyrics

Chil dren

sleep ing,

snow is soft ly fall ing.

Dreams are call ing

like bells in the dis a tance.

We were

dream ers

not so long a go,

but one by one, we

to all had to grow to

up.

it seems the mag ic slipped a way,

we find it all a gain on Christ mas Day.

Be lieve in what your heart is say ing, hear the mel o dy that’s play ing.

There’s no time to waste, there’s so much to cel e brate.

Be lieve in what you feel in side and give your dreams the wings to fly.

You have ev ’ry thing you need,

if you just be lieve.

Day.

Be lieve in what your heart is say ing, hear the mel o dy that’s play ing.

There’s no time to waste, there’s so much to cel e brate.

Be lieve in what you feel in side and give your dreams the wings to fly.

You have ev ’ry thing you need,

if you just be lieve.

If you just be lieve,

if you just be lieve,

if you just be lieve.

Just be lieve,

just be lieve.
