The Night Before Christmas
Children carry through the streetsA brilliant painted starAngels gather 'round the hearthStrumming on guitarsMen of great renown and faithSay prayers on boulevardsIt's the night before Christmas
But you don't have to be an angelTo sing harmonyAnd you don't have to be a childTo love the mysteryAnd you don't have to be a wise manOn bended kneeThe heart of this Christmas is in you and me
(The night before Christmas)The night before Christmas
If your heart's been longingAnd you've been afraid to trySorrow's kept you companyAnd the dance has passed you byI'll lift you up and blaze with youAcross the moonlit skyOn the night before Christmas
'Cause you don't have to be an angelTo sing in harmonyAnd you don't have to be a child to love the mystery(The mystery)And you don't have to be a wise manOn bended kneeThe heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me...
The night before ChristmasThe night before ChristmasThe night before ChristmasThe night before Christmas
