10.The Night Before Christmas
Lyrics:Carly Simon
Music:Carly Simon
Children carry through the streets
A brightly painted star.
Angels gather round the hearth
Strumming on guitars.
Men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards.
It's the night before Christmas
But you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony.
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee.
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas
If your heart's been longing.
You've been afraid to try.
Sorrow's kept you company
And the dance has passed you by.
I'll lift you up and blaze with you
Across the moonlit sky
On the night before Christmas
Cause you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony.
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee.
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The night before Christmas.
The night before Christmas...
