I Should Close My Eyes

After waiting for so long 
Now the time has finally come 
And I lie here in the darkness 
Knowing I should close my eyes 
But I can’t, there’s too much excitement 
Too many sounds on this silent night 

What’s that? 
That’s the clock upon the wall 
Are those footsteps in the hall? 
Is that the sound of 
sleigh bells jingling? 
I think I hear the angels singing 
In the distance church bells are ringing 
Sounds of hope are everywhere tonight 

Quiet voices somewhere 
Something’s moving on the stairs 
But now my eyes are feeling heavy 
And the sounds are fading away 
Now I’m drifting like a snowflake 
To a quiet, quiet place, quiet place...
