[Verse 1]
In the hush of a long winter's dream
Through a window the candlelight gleams
Veiled in whispers the stillness of night
On a canvas of stars in the sky

[Chorus]
All the world sleeps on in silence
Wrapped in a blanket of snow
But when the morning awakens
The beauty of life starts to flow

[Verse 2]
In the forest where moonlight it shines
The grip of the frost on the pines
Then the air weaves the warmth of a song
Still, the heartbeat of winter goes on

[Chorus]
All the world sleeps on in silence
Wrapped in a blanket of snow
But when the morning awakens
The beauty of life starts to flow

[Post-Chorus]
December skies will carry me home
[Chorus]
All the world sleeps on in silence
Wrapped in a blanket of snow
But when the morning awakens
The beauty of life starts to flow

[Post-Chorus]
December skies will carry me home
