Still Can't Sleep

It's the 24th of December, a time when I'm a kid again

For as long as I remember, I've looked forward

To this day throughout the year

Snow is falling all around us

Like our own wide world inside a globe

Snowman in the yard, hot chocolate on the stove

And everywhere the Christmas lights are glowing

It's Christmas time, it's magical, I come alive — it's factual

I still can't sleep on Christmas Eve

We bundle up, the air is frosty

We gather family and friends

Singing carols by the fire, there's laughter in the air

I never, ever want this night to end

Soon the clock will strike midnight

We're full of candy canes and kettle corn

Let's get the children into bed, and find some mistletoe

And that will keep us busy 'til the morning

It's Christmas time, it's magical, I come alive — it's factual

I still can't sleep on Christmas Eve

Gingerbread, jingle bells, Santa and cinnamon

Reindeer on the roof, can't get enough of it

Presents under the Christmas tree

How could I ever sleep?

Yes, it's Christmas time, it's magical, I come alive — it's factual

I still can't sleep on Christmas...

It's Christmas time, eyes open wide

I feel like I'm 8 years old inside

I still can't sleep on Christmas Eve

I still can't sleep on Christmas Eve
