trans-siberian orchestra - christmas canon rock (narration) lyrics

[spoken word]
so christmas eve had come and passed
but not so christmas day
and thus it is we add a final act unto our yearly play
a taxicab pulled up to the grand hotel
that morning somewhere around eight
and the father with his son got out
and asked the driver to please wait
then the father asked the clerk if he could speak to the couple in room 1224
adding he did not know the couple’s name
but had met their child the night before
the clerk answered the most politely
that he would like to fufil his wish but the room 1224
in this hotel did not exist
the father then described the little girl
her age and dress as well
but the clerk said that there had been no children there at all that week
was he sure he had the right hotel?
so then the father started wondering
if in the cold winter’s air
he had somehow imagined the entire event
but then he realized he didn’t care
the only thing that mattered when all was said and done
was that he was reunited with his one and only son
and when they got back into their cab
he heard a ripping sound as the contents of his wife’s folder
spilled out onto the ground
as he rushed to pick it all up
he grabbed the picture first
of him and his wife at the age nineteen
long before she had given birth
and on the back he saw a poem he had written to her
years before they had wed
when they were young, their lives just begun
and here is what it said
“if a single tear fell from your eyes
into the ocean
and then washed up on some far and distant shore
i would still recognize that teardrop
for in the end that tear would still be yours”
and then he saw another picture
that he had never seen before
of a little girl in a russian style coat
standing with her parents in front of their store
the little girl he saw there
he now knew was a childhood picture of his wife
but it was also a picture of the little girl
he had just met on the previous night
he realized that those who love, death cannot divide
it only provides an extra soul
to watch over us from the otherside
and together they returned back to the father’s home
and shared the best christmas that either of them had ever known
and somewhere, across eternity
which in distance cannot be measured
the mother looked down upon them both
and their happiness she treasured
and later on, late that night
when her son was drifting off to sleep
a tear once more rolled from her eyes
and trailed across her cheek
but this one was a tear of joy
that she could not keep inside
and this time she followed it through eternity
across the great divide
’til it landed by another joyful tear
that her husband had just wept
and there unseen she joined him
in the silent vigil that he kept
for we are all born mortal
like stars and candlelight
and all that really matters
is what we do before we fall asleep each night
