"Who'll Wipe Their Tears Away" lyrics

Under the silent winter sky
A candle flickers asking why
The world is bright, yet hearts are cold
And stories fade that should be told

Each little soul, each fragile hand
Lost in the snow, can't understand
Where is the voice they use to sing
Of love that heals, Of hope that clings

Who'll wipe their tears tonight?
Who'll hold their trembling light?
While angels weep, the stars will glow
But who will love them here below

Let choirs rise through winter air
Let every heart remember care
Oh Christmas night, so pure so true
Shine for the child still waiting for you

Footprints vanish on frozen ground
No lullaby, no gentle sound
Only the wind through silver trees
Whispers of pain, of memories

Where are the arms that held them near
Where are the words they long to hear
The snow keeps falling, soft and deep
While heaven sighs and angels weep

If love still breathes within my chest
Let it waken from its rest
For every tear we fail to see
Is but a borrowed memory

(Who'll wipe their tears tonight)
(Who'll guide them to the light)
Before we can love, then we belong
We are their heart, their home, their song

OH Christmas night, be kind, be true
To every soul still needing you
The child you save, the heart you hold
Might be your own soul
Might be you
