Imagine a boy
Kneeling by the window
Lookin' out across the driveway at the rain
Will it always rainI remember the bells
Comin' from the churchyard
And I thought they played their music just for me
And day by day
The rain turned to snow
I don't hear them anymoreThe bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really meansSo light a candle
That every man may see
The world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when andWe'll ring the bells of Christmas
Once againThere was a girl
Lived around the corner
With eyes as black as Mary's must have been
I wonderDoes she miss her friend
I remember the day
All the bells were ringing
As I watched her cross the churchyard in the snowAnd all my searching
for all I lack
Is just trying to get that feeling backThe bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really meansSo light a candle
That every man may see
A world of hope and promise
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once againThe future of the world, they say
Is in the children's hands
Perhaps if we could let them lead
We'd come to understandThe bells of Christmas
Will ring for us again
When we truly do believe
What Christmas really meansSo light a candle that every man may see
Like the one we knew back when and
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
We'll ring the bells of Christmas once again
