Everyone, everywhere
|
feels the thrill in the air
|
Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve
|
Christmas Eve!
|
|
All the streets snowy white
|
as they sing "Silent Night"
|
on this holy holiday eve!
|
|
All the kids are so good
|
go to bed when they should
|
mustn't take any chances tonight!
|
|
They will sleep with a smile
|
as they dream all the while
|
of the gifts they'll receive
|
Christmas Eve!
|
|

|
|
La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
|
la, la la . . .
|
|
If they gave me a choice
|
if they left it to me
|
I know just what my present would be
|
Peace on earth to all men
|
and good will once again
|
all the things we truly believe
|
since that long, long ago Christmas Eve!
|
|
La, la la, la, la la, la, la la
|
la, la la Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve
|
Christmas Eve!
|
|
La, la la, la, la la,
|
la, la la . . . to fade
