The Night Before Christmas Lyrics by Amy Grant

The Night Before Christmas

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.[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 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.[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] the night before christmas.
[the night] the night before christmas.
[the night] the night before christmas.
[the night before christmas.]
[the night] the night before christmas.
[the night before christmas.]
[the night] the night before christmas.
[the night] la, la, la, la....
