[02:28.29][02:40.44]The child said, "I've noticedIf one could be home, they'd be already there" [02:50.88][02:56.01]Then the bartender came out, from behind the bar [02:56.97][03:01.82]And in all of his life, was never that far [03:02.98][03:08.18]And he did something else that he thought no one saw [03:06.11][03:14.51]When he took all the cash from the register drawer [03:15.55][03:20.30]Then he followed the child to the girl across the street [03:21.65][03:26.40]And we watched from the bar as they started to speak [03:28.08][03:33.55]Then he called for a cab then he said, "J.F.K." [03:34.20][03:39.16]Put the girl in the cab and the cab drove away [03:40.60][03:46.10]And we saw in his hand, that the cash was all gone [03:46.55][03:53.37]From the light that she had wished upon [03:54.82][03:58.31]If you want to arrange it [03:58.96][04:01.55]This world you can change it [04:07.81][04:02.23]If we could somehow make this Christmas thing last [04:09.50][04:10.04]By helpin' a neighbour [04:11.77][04:13.62]Even a stranger [04:15.41][04:17.53]To know who needs help [04:19.16][04:22.86]You need only just ask [04:34.53][04:36.17]Then he looked for the child [04:37.86][04:39.94]But the child wasn't there [04:41.01][04:43.47]Just the wind and the snow [04:43.64][04:46.87]Waltzing dreams through the air [04:47.98][04:50.33]So he walked back inside [04:50.63][04:52.69]Somehow different,I think [04:54.50][04:56.68]For the rest of the night [04:57.07][04:59.72]No one paid for a drink [05:00.88][05:03.17]And the cynics will say [05:04.51][05:06.52]That some neighbourhood kid [05:07.82][05:09.52]Wandered in on some bums [05:10.92][05:13.18]In the world where they hid [05:14.17][05:16.45]But they weren't there [05:17.44][05:19.43]So they couldn't see [05:20.49][05:22.67]By an old neon star [05:23.92][05:24.84]On that night, [05:24.90][05:25.26]Christmas [05:26.86][05:29.44]When the snow it was falling [05:30.63][05:32.94]And neon was calling [05:33.82][05:36.41]In case you should wonder [05:37.49][05:39.82]In case you should care [05:41.78][05:44.82]Why we on our own [05:46.00][05:47.42]Never went home? [05:48.77][05:51.62]On that night of all nights [05:53.73][05:58.05]We were already there
