When Christmas Comes

When Christmas Comes - Ann Hortaleza-Galvez

In days of old was a story told of a weather man

On dusty roads and on nights so cold did he roam

He traveled far followed every star taking paths unknown

So on Christmas day he would find his way back home

He'd find his home

With spirit frayed the eyes wold fade on this weathered man

Though weak and blind still he walked the winding road

An orphanned lass took his hand at last so he wouldn't stray

But at his side for him she cried on the way

So sad she prayed

When Christmas comes may this man be found

And his heart no longer be lonely

Let lanterns hung and carols sung bring him home

To an open doors and a warm embrace

And a gentle smile on a friendly face

Let him them find peace and love

For once when christmas day

They reached a place an empty space where family lived

And man and wife took the weathered life in their care

They put to bed his tried head and watched him lay

Not knowing he'd no longer see christmas day

They knelt and prayed

When Christmas comes may this lost be found

And his heart no longer be lonely

Let lanterns hung and carols song lead him home

To an open door and a warm embrace

And a gentle smile on a friendly face

Let him them find peace and love

For once when christmas comes

Travelers all are we seeking the places where love must be

Knocking on every door yearning to find where our hearts are free

Christmas is everywhere in faces we long to see

Christmas is ours to share no need to search all about us

Love's all around us

Now I know as the story shows of this weathered man

Ever blind we will never find our home

Till we see love will always be staring at our faces

That can we be so peacefully on our way

And so I pray

When Christmas comes may this lost be found

And his heart no longer be lonely

Let lanterns hung and carols song lead us home

To an open door and a warm embrace

And a gentle smile on a friendly face

Let him them find peace and love

For once when christmas comes

Each day is dear look far and near

Christmas is here christmas is here
