Carly Simon - THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS lyrics

rate me

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
