Текст песни
My hands remember every curve and edge
Fifty winters at this wooden bench
The clock strikes late but time forgets to move
When christmas magic makes its entrance
Paint and polish, one more soldier's coat
This rocking horse needs just one final touch
The world outside is sleeping soft and still
While i'm surrounded by so much
Can you feel it now?
The air is holding its breath
Something beautiful is being born
Right here in the sawdust and the silence
Every toy upon this shelf
Carries someone's wish inside itself
And i'm the one who gets to see them come alive
On this holy night
My daughter thinks i should have closed by now
But there's a doll that needs her eyes to shine
And somewhere there's a child who doesn't know
That she's been waiting here for them to find
Can you feel it now?
The air is holding its breath
Something beautiful is being born
Right here in the sawdust and the silence
Every toy upon this shelf
Carries someone's wish inside itself
And i'm the one who gets to see them come alive
On this holy night
They tell me i should rest these weary bones
But who could sleep when wonder's in the room?
When every creation holds a prayer
When love is carved in every wooden tune
Can you feel it now?
The world is holding its breath
Something beautiful has just been born
Right here where my hands have spent a lifetime
Every child who'll wake to find
The magic that we made tonight
I got to be a part of something greater than myself
Thank heaven for this gift i've been allowed
Time can have me back tomorrow
Tonight belongs to joy
