(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
|
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
|
