Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Longest Night Of The Year lyrics

They say that spring will come again No one knows exactly when. Still the sun's a long lost friend On the longest night of the year. We stare into the firelight While December beats outside Where the darkest hearts reside On the longest night of the year So keep me safe and hold me tight Let the candle burn all night Tomorrow welcome back the night It was longest night of the year I used to think the world was small Bright and shining like a ball Seems I don't know much at all On the longest night of the year We press our faces to the gla** And see our little lives go past Wave to shadows that we cast On the longest night of the year So keep me safe and hold me tight, Let the candle burn all night, Tomorrow welcome back the light. 'Twas the longest night of the year Make a vow when Solstice comes: To find the Light in everyone Keep the faith and bang the drum On the longest night of the year So keep me safe and hold me tight, Let the candle burn all night, Tomorrow welcome back the light. 'Twas the longest night of the year So keep me safe and hold me tight, Let the candle burn all night, Tomorrow welcome back the light. After the longest night of the year
