Dreams are More Precious
Dreams are more precious Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Come! See! High above. Come! See! High in the heavens a new star shining bright; out of the darkness comes a light.
Come! Hear midnight chimes. Come! Hear bells that are ringing and from some distant shore sounds of a journey echo on.
This is the night, they say, everyone wants a dream. This is the night, they say, nothing is as it seems.
Come! Sleep! Close your eyes. Come! Sleep! Give me your sorrow and I’ll keep watch for you until the dawn is breaking through, until the morning wakens you.
Come! Dream through the night. Come! Dream, and then tomorrow you’ll see your heart will know dreams are more precious than gold. Dreams are more precious than gold. Dreams are more precious than gold.

White is in the Winter Night
White is in the winter night Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Have you seen the mistletoe? It fills the night with kisses. Have you seen the bright new star? It fills your heart with wishes. Have you seen the candlelight? It shines from every window. Have you seen the moon above? It lights the sky in silver.
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly, silver in the stars above that shine on everybody. Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers. White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you heard the boys all sigh when all the girls are skating? Have you heard the sweetheart’s cry for all this time they’re waiting?
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly, silver in the stars above that shine on everybody. Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers. White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you seen the children playing? Tiny hands are frozen! Have you seen them hurry home when suddenly it’s snowing!
Green is in the mistletoe and red is in the holly, silver in the stars above that shine on everybody. Gold is in the candlelight and crimson in the embers. White is in the winter night that everyone remembers.
Have you heard the bells are ringing, ringing out their story? Have you heard the choir singing? Glory! Glory! Glory!

The Journey of the Angels
The journey of the Angels Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Somewhere in a winter night the angels begin their flight; dark skies with miles to go, no footsteps to be lost in snow.
They fly to you Oh, new-born king They fly to you Oh, angels sing
one is sorrow one is peace one will come to give you sleep one is comfort one is grief one will take the tears you weep
New star in a midnight sky in heaven all the angels fly soft wings so true and all things they will give to you
Somewhere in a winter night the angels begin their flight
Tonight all sing Oh, angels, a new-born king Tonight all sing Oh, angels a new-born king.

Last Time by Moonlight
One last time by moonlight Lyrics by Roma Ryan
The winter sky above us was shining in moonlight, And everywhere around us the silence of midnight. And we had gathered snowflakes; remember the soft light of starlight on snow.
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way love goes. Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way life goes.
We walked the road together one last time by moonlight, as underneath the heavens the slow chimes at midnight, but nothing is forever not even the starlight at midnight not even the moonlight...
Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way love goes. Oooh, remember this, for no-one knows the way life goes.

Looking at LTBM, I'd say Roma has penned some of her best lyrics in a long time for this album.

Thank you for posting the lyrics I have to agree, these are some of the best lyrics that has come from Roma. I think she caught a lot of flack for the Amarantine album. Maybe this will quiet those who thought her creativity had dwindled.

Maybe this will quiet those who thought her creativity had dwindled. I really hope so. In comparison to the above (with more to come, obviously) the lyrics of Amarantine pale. LTBM is especially good - brilliant in fact.

O come, O come, Emmanuel
O come, O come, Emmanuel, to free your captive Israel that mourns in lonely exile here until the son of god appear.
Rejoice! Rejoice! O Israel to you shall come Emmanuel.
O veni, veni Emmanuel, Captivum solve Israel, Qui gemit in exilio, Privates Dei Filio.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude! Gaude!
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.
Gaude! Gaude! Emmanuel nascetur pro te, Israel.

One Toy Soldier
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
One toy soldier stands alone with his drum down by his side One toy soldier on his own with his drum to keep the time He keeps the beat of marching feet He keeps the beat so true He's one small toy for one small boy but his heart is oh, so blue.
Who can mend my broken drum? Will it be as good as new? I must play when morning comes. If I don't, what shall I do? He keeps the beat of marching feet He keeps the beat inside while children sleep in dreams so deep there's a secret he must hide.
For he keeps the beat of marching feet He keeps the beat so true He wants to sing and hopes to bring Happy holidays to you.
He keeps the beat of marching feet He keeps the beat inside Someone has come To mend his drum Now his heart lights up with pride.
So, he keeps the beat of marching feet He keeps the beat so true When morning comes He plays his drum Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you! Happy holidays to you!

My My Time Flies
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
My! My! Time Flies! One step and we're on the moon Next step into the stars My! My! Time flies! Maybe we could be there soon A one way ticket to mars
My! My! Time Flies! A man underneath a tree An apple falls on his head My! My! Time Flies! A man wrote a symphony It's 1812
My! My! Time Flies! Four guys across Abbey Road One forgot to wear shoes My! My! Time Flies! A rap on a rhapsody A king who's still in the news A king to sing you the blues
My! My! Time flies! A man in a winter sleigh White white white as the snow My! My! Time flies! A new day is on its way So let's let yesterday go Could be we step out again Could be tomorrow but then Could be 2010

Oíche Chiúin
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Cach 'na suan, dís araon, Dís is dílse 'faire le spéis, Naíon beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh, Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh, Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic Dé, Aoirí ar dtús chuala 'n scéal, Allelúia aingeal ag glaoch, Cantain suairc i ngar is i gcein, Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein, Críost an Slánaitheoir Fein.
Oíche chiúin, oíche Mhic De, Cach 'na suan, dís araon, Dis is dílse 'faire le spéis, Naion beag gnaoigheal ceananntais caomh, Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh, Críost, 'na chodhladh go seimh.

The Spirit of Christmas Past
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
When tears are in your eyes It's time to look inside Your heart can find another way
Believe in what I say- Don't throw this time away Tomorrow will be Christmas day
Christmas day
So let the shadows go and drift away like snow Tomorrow will be Christmas Day Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
So dream until the night Becomes the morning light Tomorrow will be Christmas Day Tomorrow will be Christmas Day

Stars and Midnight Blue
Lyrics by Roma Ryan
Memories we share together Moments no one else can know I will keep them close to me Never let them go
Once you filled my hands with roses Then you gave your heart to me When a kiss had followed this Love was meant to be
Time goes by And the snow is drifting Slowly in the sky Cold, cold night
As you lie beside me I can hear your heartbeat
You have lost yourself in dreaming I have lost myself in you Now we lie beneath the sky Stars and midnight blue.
