Distant voices draw you on to the glow of the evensong,
Call you back where you belong,
A prayer for you, a gift for you,
Leave your burdens and your cares,
By the fire there's an empty chair, and old friends are waiting there,
Just for you, a gift for you.

Tonight, dark night without a star to guide you,
Sweet child, lost child, come home,
We will watch, we will pray,
Love will light your way gently, like a lantern in the snow.

A dreamer's song whispered in your ear,
And you searched through the restless years for the prize that was always here,
Just for you, a gift for you,
Through the wintry veil you cried,
Let your memory be your guide to the peace and the warmth inside,
Just for you, a gift for you.

Tonight, dark night without a star to guide you,
Sweet child, lost child, come home,
We will watch, we will pray,
Love will light your way gently, like a lantern in the snow.

Tonight, dark night without a star to guide you,
Sweet child, lost child, come home,
We will watch, we will pray,
Love will light your way gently, like a lantern in the snow.

Tonight.
