It's the night before ChristmasWith fresh snow on the groundAnd then just before midnightThere's a wonderful soundAs away in the distanceAnd from whence no one knowsComes the echo of sleigh bellsAnd it grows and it growsIt's the night before ChristmasIt's the night before ChristmasAnd in everyone's bedAll the children are waitingFor the great man in redAnd they never will see himThough they're trying to keepCause whenever he's with themThey'll be fast asleepIt's the night before ChristmasAnd so legends do tellThere's an ancient toy makerWho is casting a spellAnd while no one has seen himAll the children believeIn the magical visitMade on EasterEach Christmas EveIt's the night before ChristmasAnd all the world mightWait for the tingleThat they'll feel insideWhen as if in a dreamComes the sound of a sleighAnd they'll know in their heartsThe old man's on his wayIt's the night before ChristmasAnd the hope is aliveThat the magic of childhoodWill for always surviveNow the knock has struck midnightAnd the moment has passedWe give thanksWe give thanksThat the giftOf that momentWill lastNight after night
