On Christmas Eve
We look so sweet
Looking at a year gone by
Presents under the tree
But there’s nothing there from me
‘Cos I haven’t been good enough this year
Shopping on Christmas Eve
Makes a man believe
That there’s no one looking out for me
Been here for so long
With the same old holiday songs
Playing on an endless repeat
I don’t care what you get me
Just don’t get me too early in the day
‘Cos I need my beauty sleep
On Christmas Eve
I’ve been trying so hard all day
I know all about you
But I’m clueless, there’s no doubt you can tell
You know me better than I know myself
I don’t care what you get me
Just don’t get me too early in the day
‘Cos I need my beauty sleep
On Christmas Eve
I’ve been trying so hard all day
Come Christmas day
I don’t know what to say
‘Cos I haven’t got
Anything for you
And I can’t change
My selfish ways
It’s something
That I just can’t do
All I have is my heart
And that’s a start
But I swear I’ll go to the end
I swear I’ll go to the end
For you

Christmas is Near

Hark! Hear the bells
We might as well
Sing it too
Ring-ting-a-ling
Ding-ling-a-ling tune
Heaven I know
Blanket of snow
Ankle deep
It’s in the air
Christmas is near
It’s hardly here
Yet I can feel it get closer
Every year
Dark are the days
Hark, count the ways
You feel here
Hey, simmer down
Christmas is near
I’m unafraid
Grit on the pave
Meant to be
It’s obvious
Christmas is near
Oh, it’s hardly here
Yet I can feel it get closer
Every year
Grab the one you love
And cuddle up
Hold them dear
Walking along
Christmas is near
Kids carolling
Can’t find a thing
Else to do
Ring-ting-a-ling
Ding-ling-a-ling tune

Away in a Manger

Away in a manger
No crib for a bed
The little lord Jesus
Lay down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky
Look down where he lay
The little lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing
The baby awakes
But little lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love thee, lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle
'Til morning is nigh
Be near me, lord Jesus
I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
In thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with thee there
