The Night Before Christmas Lyrics
(Carly Simon)Children carry through the streetsA brilliant painted starAngels gather ‘round the hearthStrumming on guitarsMen of great renown and faithSay prayers on boulevardsIt’s the night before ChristmasBut you don’t have to be an angelTo sing harmonyAnd you don’t have to be a childTo love the mysteryAnd you don’t have to be a wise manOn bended kneeThe heart of this Christmas is in you and meThe night before ChristmasThe night before ChristmasIf you’re heart’s been longingAnd you’ve been afraid to trySorrow’s kept you companyAnd the dance has passed you byI’ll lift you up and blaze with youAcross the moonlit skyOn the night before Christmas‘Cause you don’t have to be an angelTo sing in harmonyAnd you don’t have to be a child to love the mysteryAnd you don’t have to be a wise manOn bended kneeThe heart of this Christmas is in you and meThe heart of this Christmas is in you and meThe night before ChristmasThe night before Christmas
