I saw a snowflake gently falling
From the sky this Christmas Eve
And a voice so gently calling,
"My Child, do you believe?"

"Do you believe in miracles,
And in faith, can you see?
As you celebrate this Christmas,
Do you believe in me?"

Then he showed me a vision
Of the manger dark and lorn
That the shadow of the cross was present
The night that Christ was born.

"Do you believe in miracles,
That this was planned for you?
That even then I knew the cost
To bring you life anew?"

"Tell me child, do you know the gift
First given long ago?
But most important, do you believe
It washes white as snow?"

I saw again the snowflakes falling
From the sky this Holy Eve.
Yes Lord, I believe in Christmas,
And yes Lord, I believe.

I BELIEVE

I believe in miracles and dreams that will come true.
I believe in tender moments and friendship, through and through.
I believe in stardust and moonbeams all aglow.
I believe there's magic and more there than we know
I believe in reaching out and touching from the heart.

I believe that if we touch a gift we can impart.
I believe that if you cry, your tears are not in vain.
And when you're sad and lonely, others know your pain
I believe that when we laugh a sparkle starts to shine.

And I just know that spark will spread from more hearts than just mine.
I believe that hidden in the quiet of the night,
there's magic moths and gypsies a fairy and a sprite.
I believe that if you dance the dances of your heart,
that greater happiness will find a brand new way to start.

I believe the gifts you have are there for you to share
And when you give them from the heart,
the whole world knows you care I believe that if you give, even just to one,
that gift will grow in magnitude before the day is done.

I believe that comfort comes from giving part of me.
And if I share with others, there's more for all to see.

I believe that love
Is still the greatest gift of all
And when it's given from the heart
Then not one of us will fall .
