Merry Christmas Eve

Northern wind,
Chimney smoke.
Love and pain,
Joy and hope.
These are the days,
Of Christmas.
Colored lights and mistle toe,
Cinnamon and Nat King Cole.
There's a miracle now-
On 34th Street.
At the airport families wait on cue,
And they shout as the loved one comes in view.
Well the kids are just happy 'cause they're out of school.
How wonderful life is, on Christmas.
Sleigh bells and sing-a-longs,
The snow falls on the lawn.
There's a midnight Mass,
For a birthday.
Hearin' tones and laughter fill the room,
You forget all the thoughts that have troubled you.
Yeah I know times are hard, somehow you'll make it through.
How wonderful life is, on Christmas.
All is quiet,
Holy night.
To awaken,
Morning light.
Let it shine-
Let it fill our lives with light.
Then as someone says, "Santa Claus was here,"
One by one by the tree we all appear.
Grandmother saved paper to use next year.
How wonderful life is-
How wonderful life is-
How wonderful life is,
On Christmas-
On Christmas.
Merry Christmas Eve.
(At the airport families wait on cue.)
Merry Christmas Eve.
(And they smile and they cry as you fade from view.)
Merry Christmas Eve.
(Well the folks are just happy 'cause they saw you.)
Merry Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas Eve.
(How wonderful life is, how wonderful life is, how wonderful life is.)
Merry Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas Eve.
Merry Christmas Eve.
