The Longest Night Of The Year Lyrics - Come Darkness Come Light: Twelve Songs Christmas - Mary Chapin Carpenter

They say that spring will come again 

No one knows exactly when. 

Still the sun's a long lost friend 

On the longest night of the year. 

We stare into the firelight 

While December beats outside 

Where the darkest hearts reside 

On the longest night of the year 

So keep me safe and hold me tight 

Let the candle burn all night 

Tomorrow welcome back the night 

It was longest night of the year 

I used to think the world was small 

Bright and shining like a ball 

Seems I don't know much at all 

On the longest night of the year

We press our faces to the glass 

And see our little lives go past 

Wave to shadows that we cast 

On the longest night of the year 

So keep me safe and hold me tight, 

Let the candle burn all night, 

Tomorrow welcome back the light. 

'Twas the longest night of the year 

Make a vow when Solstice comes: 

To find the Light in everyone 

Keep the faith and bang the drum 

On the longest night of the year 

So keep me safe and hold me tight, 

Let the candle burn all night, 

Tomorrow welcome back the light. 

'Twas the longest night of the year

So keep me safe and hold me tight, 

Let the candle burn all night, 

Tomorrow welcome back the light.
