Lyrics
'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
There were carols in the square
Laughter everywhere
Couples kissing under mistletoe
I can't help reminiscing
Knowing I'll be missing
Christmas Eve in my hometown
Nothing can erase the memories I embrace
Those familiar footsteps on the snow
There's so much to remember
No wonder I remember
Christmas Eve in my hometown
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might
I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men traveled far
Guided by a star
But though I'm not a wise man, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my hometown
Oh, Christmas Eve in my hometown
I'd like to be there
Trimming the tree there
And there's a chance that I might
I can hear singing
Steeple bells ringing
Noel and Silent Night
Wise men traveled far
Guided by a star
And though I'm not a not a wise man, this I know
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my hometown
Through dreams and just pretending
I'm there and I'll be spending
Christmas Eve in my hometown
