D G C F A D
[Narration]
[N.C.]
Like the sphinx knows silence
And the pyramids know time
Like sisyphus knew regret
As he thought about his crime
As julius knew betrayal
As judas knew the kiss
And david with his nervous hand
Knew when not to miss
And helen in her blindness
Knew better how to touch
And lincoln in his wisdom
Knew the angels in each of us
Like the delphi knew tomorrow
Like crocodiles know the nile
Like michelangelo knew stone
A mother knows her baby's smile
Then she placed her hands upon his lips
In something akin to a kiss
And in her arms he stayed asleep
As the night grew dark and the child dreamt deep
[Intro]
C5 Bb
[Verse] 1
C5Dream, child
As childhood wants to do
BbDream all this night will allow
C5Dream, child
Dream with an angel's view
BbOut there safe in your clouds
[Chorus]
Em7Wait for me Fsus2now
I will be there for you
Em7No matter Fsus2what
Tomorrow may bring
Em7This I will Fsus2vow
I will be there
For this Gsus4child Gwith Gsus2dif--Gferent
[Verse] 2
C5Dream, child
Stars have been rumored to
BbSee dreams within newborn eyes
C5And in their arms I believe they do
BbKeep safe until you arise
[Chorus]
Em7Wait for me Fsus2now
I will be there for you
Em7No matter Fsus2what
Tomorrow may bring
Em7This I will Fsus2vow
I will be there
For this Gsus4child Gwith Gsus2dif--Gferent wings
Bb Csus2
[Narration]
[N.C.]
And so it's here our story ends
Exactly where it did start
In that labyrinth of mystery
We call the human heart
For they say that without it
No one can truly live
And it also has been rumored
That without it, we cannot forgive
Merry Christmas!

Like the sphinx knows silence

And the pyramids know time

Like sisyphus knew regret

As he thought about his crime

As julius knew betrayal

As judas knew the kiss

And david with his nervous hand

Knew when not to miss

And helen in her blindness

Knew better how to touch

And lincoln in his wisdom

Knew the angels in each of us

Like the delphi knew tomorrow

Like crocodiles know the nile

Like michelangelo knew stone

A mother knows her baby's smile

Then she placed her hands upon his lips

In something akin to a kiss

And in her arms he stayed asleep

As the night grew dark and the child dreamt deep
