[D] [G]
Take me back to eight years old, the [C] little church on a dead end road, [Bm] with a candle [D] flicker
in one [C] hand and dad's [G] hand in the other.
Take me back to silent night, [Am] my heart was full and the world was right, cause [D] right
now the world looks nothing like [Em] those innocent [G] Decembers.
[Am] These days peace on earth is [D] hard to find, [G] and I need you to remind me [C] one more time.
[G] You're [Em] still the hope of [C] Christmas, [D] you're still [G] the light when the world [Bm] looks dark,
[Em] you're still the hope [C] of Christmas, [D] and you're still the [G] hope of my heart.
[Am]
[D] [C] [G]
Watch the snowflakes falling down, [Am] like a blanket on this town, [D] for a moment we can

May the sick find healings touch, [Am] may hatreds fight, be one with love.
[D] And may every heart make room for you, [C] the one [G] who came to save us, cause you're still
the hope of [Am] Christmas,

[G] I bowed my head to pray tonight, [Am] felt my little girl by my side, [G] she slipped her [D] tiny hand
in [C] mine, and we both [G] talked to you, and it took me back to eight years old, [Am] my daddy's
hand and a story told, [Dm] [G] about [Dm] heaven's love in a manger [C] low, and I promise [G] that's still true.
You're still the hope [C] of Christmas, [D] you're still the light [G] when the world [Bm] looks dark,
