Christmas Eve and all the world is watching

Santa guides his reindeer through the dark

They will find their way into your heart

(inst. verse)

Just outside the window snow is falling

       D                     G                         E

But here beside the fire we share the glow

       G                     Db         D                    G    

The moonlight and brandy, sweet talk and candy

E                                                  A           E-------------------------

Sentiments that everyone should know     B-------------------------

D                       G                       D                     

Memories of the year that lays behind us

D                     G                         E

Wishes for the year that’s yet to come

       G                Db               D                     G   

And it stands to reason, that good friends in season

E                            A                    D

Make you feel that life has just begun.

And a feeling that’ll last all through the year

So when spirits grow lighter and hopes are shining brighter

E                               A                         D

Then you know that Christmastime is here!
