Happy Birthday, Dear Christ Child

There's so much to remember

No wonder I remember

Christmas Eve in my home town



'Cause there were carols in the square

Laughter everywhere,

Couples kissing under the mistletoe



I can't help reminiscing

Knowing I'll be missing

Christmas Eve in my home town



Nothing can erase the mem'ries I embrace

Those familiar footprints upon the snow



There's so much to remember

No wonder I remember

Christmas Eve in my home town



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 journeyed 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 spen-ding

Christmas Eve in my home town
