(C.W. McCall, Bill Fries, Chip Davis) When the snow falls on Christmas Eve,

And everything's white

I sit by the window,

And remember another night

When Mama played the organ,

And we turned off all the lights

And we all stood around her

And sang Silent Night The organ is quiet now,

And Mama's gone

The sound of that Christmas Eve

Will live on and on

We sang all the old carols,

The hymns she loved to hear

And she played them over, one by one,

From memory, and by ear And then she'd find the ancient album,

With its pages turned gold

And the crayon-colored paper star

I made so long ago

But brighter than any star

Was the love in Mama's eyes

As she said, "Merry Christmas, kids",

And she kissed us goodnight And the organ's quiet now,

And Mama's gone

But the sound of that Christmas Eve

Will live on and on

The years have gone by now,

Since that last Christmas Eve

But the joy is still with me,

And the love will never leave When Mama played the organ,

And we turned off all the lights

And we all stood together

And sang the last Silent Night
