The Night Before Christmas

Children carry through the streets

A brightly painted star

Angels gather 'round the hearth

Strumming on guitars

Men of great renown and faith

Say prayers on boulevards

It's the night before christmas

But you don't have to be an angel to sing harmony

And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery

And you don't have to be a wise man on bended knee

The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

(The night before Christmas)

The night before Christmas

If your heart's been longing

And you've been afraid to try

Sorrow's kept you company

And the dance has passed you by

I'll lift you up and blaze with you

Across the moonlit sky

On the night before Christmas

'Cause you don't have to be an angel to sing harmony

And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery

And you don't have to be a wise man on bended knee

The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

(The night before Christmas) Night before Christmas

(The night before Christmas)

(The night before Christmas)

The night before Christmas and all through the house

Not  a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

Stockings were hung by the chimney with care

In hope that Saint Nicholaus would soon be there
