If We Listen Songtext
von Barnaby Bright

You′re not leaving here tonight
All tucked in safe and tight
Our fire still has a little bit of life

Windows covered up with snow
You hung some mistletoe
I see that little glimmer in your eyes

This is what I wait all year for
Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
Seems like the whole world goes on hold
Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
There are lessons to be learned
There are lessons to be learned from Christmas
If we listen

Have we ever felt so happy
Sitting with our family
Singing carols just a bit off key

Someone spiked the apple cider
Cookies caught on fire
I don't think there′s anything as sweet


This is what I wait all year for
Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
Seems like the whole world goes on hold
Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
There are lessons to be learned
There are lessons to be learned from Christmas
If we listen

Something warm to drink
Slippers on my feet
I don't think our tree has ever looked better
You're whispering to me
Things I can′t repeat
You do something to me in that Rudolph sweater

This is what I wait all year for
Smiles on every street and sweet songs sing of peace
Seems like the whole world goes on hold
Magic takes over and love fills in the holes
There are lessons to be learned
In the messes and the blur, in the blessing and the best we bring at Christmas
If we listen
