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!
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
Snow falling gently on the ground
'Tis is the night before
And in my heart there is no doubt
That this is gonna be
The brightest holiday
'Cause here you are with me
Baby, baby, I can't wait
To spend this special time of year with someone who
Makes me feel the special way that you do
Walkin' with you in a winter's snow
Kissin' underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve and they can see we're in love
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are comin' true tonight
It's Christmas Eve and I can see we're in love
We'll stay up late tonight
Decorate the tree
Just look into my eyes
And I will tell you truthfully
That I don't need no Santa Claus
To hear my Christmas wish
I got you in my arms
And what could be a better gift
Than to spend my very favorite time of year
With the one I really love so near, Oh Yeeeaahhh
Walkin' with you in a winter's snow
Kissin' underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve and they can see we're in love
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are comin' true tonight
It's Christmas Eve and I can see we're in love
And the bells are ringing when I hear you say
We'll do it all again on Christmas Day
I can't wait
Walkin' with you in a winter's snow
Kissin' underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve and they can see we're in love
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are comin' true tonight
It's Christmas Eve and I can see we're in love
Walkin' with you in a winter's snow
Kissin' underneath the mistletoe
People smiling everywhere we go
It's Christmas Eve and I can see we're in love
Ooh, you make the season bright
With the lights reflecting in your eyes
All my dreams are comin' true tonight
By Richard Starkey and Mark Hudson
IT'S CHRISTMAS AND YOU'RE NOT HERE,
THE SNOW IS FALLING DOWN, LIKE MY TEARS.
I SEE YOUR PRESENTS BY THE TREE,
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE NOT WITH ME
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS WITH STARS ABOVE,
HOW MANY TIMES HAS IT BEEN SAID A TIME FOR LOVE?
AND UNDERNEATH THE MISTLETOE
I'M STANDING HERE ALL ALONE
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
I HEAR YOUR VOICE
I SEE YOUR SMILE
YOU WERE MY CHRISTMAS SONG.
BUT NOW YOU'RE GONE, NOW YOU'RE GONE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS, IT SEEMS SO LONG,
THE LIGHTS ARE ALL AROUND THE TREE BUT NOT TURNED ON.
I SAW YOUR FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
I'D NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D REALLY GO
ON CHRISTMAS, CHRISTMAS EVE.
IT'S CHRISTMAS.
IT'S CHRISTMAS EVE.
It's a holiday hay, yea hay
Spending with you baby

Just hanging stockings on the fireplace
You know that santa's coming to town
I'm the one who wants to take you on a sleigh, right... now
So today is all about you babe
The mistletoe can pull us closer
It's what i'm waiting for
It sorta feels like it's valentine's, valentine's
So in the top of your roof
Them sleigh bells is ringing
I'll be up all night with you
Them carols are singing
Japan to Peru, baby me and you

Together on this christmas eve
You leave some cookies out,

We can fly to never neverland
The north pole, aint that cold

You can't believe everything you hear
And only half of what you see
But you can't deny the magic of a Christmas tree
It can melt a heart of stone
Bring warmth into a home
Give you strength when your alone on Christmas Eve
The message is so real
That's exactly how I feel
For the feelings everywhere on Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve
Hang up your guns
This Christmas Eve
Aim with your heart
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve
There's a light that shines above
It's a symbol of our love
Like the star upon the tree in our living room
So I believe it's true
It's wrapped inside of you
The gift of love comes through on Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve
Hang up your guns
This Christmas Eve
Aim with your heart
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
This Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve
This Christmas Eve
We can change the world
We can all be one
There's a child inside of us
There's a child that needs your trust
Open up your heart to everyone
Say goodbye to November
She must be on her way
The cold winds of December
Look like they're here to stay
Me, I'll just count the snowflakes
As they start to fall
Getting lost in the beauty
The magic of it all
And our eyes filled with wonder,
As the reindeer take to flight
Its Christmas eve
Bells will ring
Through the town we gather to sing
Christmas eve
Has begun
Peace and love to everyone
Light the festive candles
Theyll chase the shadows away
Gathering round the yule log
With handfuls of holly
Winter winds will whisper
Through the shivering pines
(Instrumental)
As He flew over the countryside
He was still listening
When from a little church below
He heard a voice begin to sing
What more can I say
December felt so cold
This lonely fire place has left me freezing and alone
And the snow I know is melting
I still can feel your pulse
I miss the times I'd hold you
Outside wishing for snow
I'd give it all up for you
You're all I'm asking for this year
(Asking for this year)
Call me on Christmas Eve to see how, how I'm doing
When I'm underneath the tree
Burn it, burn it down
Cause I can't stand the sight of a Christmas when you're not around
Let's talk
I miss what you would say
I put you on my Christmas list
Please promise me you'll stay
The lights still line my house
That always was your thing
We can drive around for hours
You can listen to me sing
In our cold car
No need for heat
Cause you got me
Call me on Christmas Eve to see how
How I'm doing, when I'm underneath the tree
Burn it, burn it down
Cause I can't stand the sight of a Christmas when you're not around
Call me on Christmas Eve to see how, how I'm doing,
When I'm underneath the tree
Burn it, burn it down
Cause I can't stand the sight of a Christmas when you're not around
(Not around, not around)
Call me on Christmas Eve to see how, how I'm doing,
When I'm underneath the tree
Burn it, burn it down
Down in yon forest there's stands a hall
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with purple and pall
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
In that hall there stands a bed
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
It's covered all over with scarlet so red
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
At the bed side there lies a stone
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Which the sweet virgin Mary knelt upon
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
Under that bed there runs a flood
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
The one half runs water
And other runs blood
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
At the bed's foot there grows a thorn
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Whichever blows blossoms
Since He was born
And I love my Lord Jesus above anything
Over that bed the moon shines bright
The bells of paradise I heard them ring
Denoting our Saviour was born this night
And I love my Lord Jesus above everything
It started on the long rout, because of the view
I wanted to drive and so did you
As we argued the first flakes of snow
Started to show
You began drinking at half past noon
enter the rounds of a drunken fool
Told my brother to get a wife
Even though you knew he just came out
And not in my wildest dreams could I ever concieve of
Spending time with you on christmas eve
You gave me a book on Italian cuisine
No matter how you try you never redeem
Yourself from the things that you put me through
If you only knew
We sat there in silence remembering all the fights
Watching the blinking christmas lights
And as I turned to you, I realised
that you had passed out
And not in my wildest dreams could I ever concieve of
Spending time with you on christmas eve
And not in a million years could I ever concieve of
Oh, what did you find?
Where did you go?
Was it everything that you hold?
All the things you loved the most.
Were they waiting for you there?
Was it worth telling the lies?
What died inside?
Was it worth your heart?
Was it worth your time?
And all the things you left behind.
[...] in no time,
In no time,
Come back love.
Open the blinds,
Turn on the lights in your eyes.
I beleive hope is yours tonight.
What is this for,
Do you want something more?
Are your intentions to put me on the floor,
Covered in cords tying me down hopeless and torn...
[...] in no time,
In no time,
Come back love.
Open the blinds,
Turn on the lights in your eyes.
I believe hope is yours tonight.
Trying to leave,
It's Christmas Eve.
After tomorrow nothing is quite the same.
Why can't you see all that you need is to,
Open your eyes.
[...] in no time,
In no time,
Come back love..
dreaming: i just can't help but think of you crying like rain to land before we stand on towers (to overlook all we had before the bad) gracefully, i'll take a step towards breaking free now. it's lovely voices that agree. make believe the moon does shine; reflect the light so you can see me. tonight: the burning sky. what you got for me on this christmas eve; underneath shattered dreams, you begin to breathe. what do you believe? that you could fly right over me? you can fly with me. what a relief that it's finally just you and me. you threw away a golden opportunity for a silver dream
