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