On A Christmas DayCifra

A        E        F#m 
Walking along the sidewalk 
Hiding behind  a  corner 
While I tried  to  answer 
     A             E            F#m 
    Watching the children      play 
A   boy  turned  around   to    say: 
The boy      disappeared in the night 
 D  (E)   A 
 I  have seen 
'I  have seen 
 On my    own 
            E          F#m            D       A 
Smiling    faces      waiting for christmas day 
a thousand people    crying on a  christmas day' 
I   was    left there wondering if  he was  right 
                                   (E F#m E A E F#m E) 


A        E      F#m    E 
And I began to think about it 
A      E             F#m      E 
Was it ever meant to be that way 
  A          E               F#m            E 
'Love is the answer' said a voice in the crowd and 
A           H        E 
I saw that boy run away 
C#m    H          A          H      C#m 
'Why don't you stay? Where did you hide? 
            H 
Will I see you again? 
C#m   H          E 
Why don't you stay?' 


A          E          F#m 
And as I stood there alone 
  A        E      F#m 
Staring into the night 
E       A               E          F#m E         A (E F#m) 
I have seen a thousand people searching for the light 
A           E        F#m 
If you are lost and lonely 
A           E     F#m 
If you're alone today 
 E         A 
Find that boy 
     E        F#m 
And let him show you 

             A     E                F#m       E 
And he will care about you when the night is long 
         A         E              F#m    E 
He will make you smile again and sing along 
       A        E        F#m      D 
Let's join our hands and let us pray 
     A         E       A 
For love on christmas day 
       A        E         F#m      D 
Let's join our hands and let us pray 
     A         E       A 
For love on christmas day
