(Livingston Taylor)

There's a hand that's old and rough

And it's holding on

To one that's new and small

Whose life has just begun

Hand in hand

Young and old

Calm each others fears

Christmas is almost here



There's a rocky road ahead

Two people walk alone

Wondering in the fading light

If they can find their home

When hope is almost gone

A distant light appears

Christmas is almost here



Almost here for those in doubt

For those who must remain

Left behind when love goes cold

And shifting life makes change



Almost here for dreamers

Who think that there's a chance

That they will find their music

And a partner for the dance



There's a dream that doesn't die

Now we walk as one

Justice has a gentle hand

And love is like the sun



The darkest night is past

And by the stars we steer

Christmas is almost here

Christmas is almost here
