Everyone, everywhere
feels the thrill in the air
Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve
Christmas Eve! 
  
All the streets snowy white  
as they sing "Silent Night"  
on this holy holiday eve!  
  
All the kids are so good  
go to bed when they should  
mustn't take any chances tonight! 
  
They will sleep with a smile  
as they dream all the while  
of the gifts they'll receive  
Christmas Eve!

La, la la, la, la la, la, la la  
la, la la . . . 
  
If they gave me a choice  
if they left it to me  
I know just what my present would be 
Peace on earth to all men 
and good will once again  
all the things we truly believe  
since that long, long ago Christmas Eve! 
  
La, la la, la, la la, la, la la  
la, la la Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve  
Christmas Eve! 
  
La, la la, la, la la,  
la, la la  . . . to fade
