Christmas Christmas Eve
Lullaby Silent Night
Christmas Lullaby Christmas Eve (Silent Night)
Close your eyes until the day breaks It’s all so very still tonight
Rest your head upon your pillow The night air is crisp and clear
Hear the whisper of the snow flakes Snow is laying pure and bright
Dancing soft across your window It’s Christmas Eve now everywhere
Let your dreams begin to take hold Snuggled up safely in warm beds
As you wander with the Sandman Children dream sugar plum dreams
Through those memories of pure gold Fantasies run through their heads
To when Christmas magic began As tomorrows happiness streams
Silent night (Peace on earth) On Christmas Eve (Silent night)
Holy night (Harmony) On Christmas Eve (Holy Night)
All is calm (Peace on earth) On Christmas Eve (All is calm)
All is bright (Let it be) On Christmas Eve (All is bright)
Once in royal David’s City Outside the magic fills the air
Stood a lowly cattle shed The atmosphere comes alive
Where a mother laid her baby Silence strains through winters ears
In a manger for his bed For Christmas day’s yet to arrive
Round yon virgins (Peace on earth) On Christmas Eve (Silent night)
Mother and child (Harmony) On Christmas Eve (Holy Night)
Holy infant so (Peace on earth) On Christmas Eve (All is calm)
Tender and mild (Let it be) On Christmas Eve (All is bright)
Mary was that Mother mild Every child awaits their treats
Jesus Christ her little child Toys and books and games and sweets
Cinnamon and candy canes
He came down to earth from Heaven Barbie dolls, electric trains
Who is God and Lord and all
And his shelter was a manger On Christmas Eve (Silent night)
And his cradle was a stall On Christmas Eve (Holy Night)
On Christmas Eve (All is calm)
Sleep (Peace on earth) On Christmas Eve (All is bright)
In heavenly peace (Harmony)
Sleep (Peace on earth) Round yon virgin Mother and Child
In heavenly peace (let it be) Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
