(carly simon)



Children carry through the streets

A brilliant painted star

Angels gather round the hearth

Strumming on guitars

Men of great renown and faith

Say prayers on boulevards

Its the night before christmas



But you dont have to be an angel

To sing harmony

And you dont have to be a child

To love the mystery

And you dont 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 youre hearts been longing

And youve been afraid to try

Sorrows kept you company

And the dance has passed you by

Ill lift you up and blaze with you

Across the moonlit sky

On the night before christmas



cause you dont have to be an angel

To sing in harmony

And you dont have to be a child to love the mystery

And you dont 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
