Christmas Eve

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!
 < instrumental break >
 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
