[Verse 1]
C G D C G D
They say that spring will come again No one knows exactly when.

Still the suns a long lost friend On the longest night of the year.

We stare into the firelight While December beats outside
C Em C D
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 light It was longest night of the year

I used to think the world was small Bright and shining like a ball
C Em C D
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
C Em C D
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
C G D C D
Tomorrow welcome back the light It was 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 It was longest night of the year
