Enya: "I thought it was quite an exciting challenge to try and capture what I’m hoping would be seen as 21st century Christmas carols. And I work very closely with Roma on one of the pieces ‘White is in the winter night’. It’s very descriptive. It’s white is in the winter night, red is in the holly, green is in the mistletoe. And we wanted to be able to feel that everybody would want to join in".
Roma Ryan: "White is in the Winter Night is sort of song I personally want to sing and I want to sing it with others".
And Winter Came EPK, 2008

White is in the Winter Night was described by Nicky as "the kind of song you could hear at the Proms with everyone joining in, it has that kind of Christmassy vibe".

Lyrics

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 sweethearts 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!
