The World That She Sees
Trans-Siberian Orchestra Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There in this night
There is a life
Someone who waits for me
Only a child
Dreams and a smile
Waiting to play

And now she's found
Snow on the ground
Magic has been set free
She's waited here
All of this year
Just for this day

And then the night comes alive
With lights to dazzle

And everything's extraordinary
Nothing is left ordinary

Christmas has come
With its long memory
And in my mind
It always will be
The world that she sees

Caught in this night
Pieces of light
Glitter and play for you
And made of glass
Dreams from the past
Wait for this day

And if you try
Look in the sky
One star is shining through
And on this eve
You can't believe
It's far away

And then the night comes alive
With lights to dazzle
And everything's extraordinary
Nothing is left ordinary

Christmas has come
With its long memory
And in my mind
It always will be
The world that she sees

And then the night comes alive
With lights to dazzle
And everything's extraordinary
Nothing is left ordinary

Christmas has come
With its long memory
And in my mind
It always will be
The world that she sees

There on this night
Pieces of light
There on this night
Pieces of light

There on this night
Pieces of light
There on this night
