The Night Before Christmas

Children carry through the streets

A brightly painted star

Angels gather round the harp

Strumming on guitar

Men of great renown and faith

Say prayers on boulevards

It's the night before Christmas



Chorus

But you don't have to be an angel

To sing harmony

You don't have to be a child

To love a 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

It's been afraid to try

Sorrow's kept you company

And the dance has passed you by

I'll lift you and blaze with you

Across the moonlit'sky

On the night before Christmas



Chorus

Cause you don't have to an angel

To sing harmony

You don't have to be a child

To love a 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......

The night before Christmas......
