Josh Groban sings about the magic of Christmas in his popular song, “Believe.”
The lyrics take us back to a time when we thought anything was possible:
Children sleeping, snow is softly falling
Dreams are calling like bells in the distance
We were dreamers not so long ago
But one by one we all had to grow up
When it seems the magic’s slipped away
We find it all again on Christmas day …
