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 you're 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 in 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 The night before Christmas
