Mary Chapin Carpenter - The Longest Night Of The Year Lyrics
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.
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
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.
After the longest night of the year

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
Chorus:
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
Make a vow when Solstice comes:
To find the Light in everyone

So keep me safe and hold me tight,
Let the candle burn all night,
Tomorrow welcome back the light.

I agree, John - a new one needed to be made! Thanks.
Thanks. Same to you! It was my first YouTube video. I didn't like the picture that accompanies the other YouTube version of this great song, so I made a new one.
Thank you for this video....I've embedded it in my blog and will give you full credit. I was going to make one but yours is lovely and does justice to this wonderful song. Have a blessed Solstice.
