lyrics
Christmas Eve night
Tucked in my bed
Anxiously waiting
For sleep to come take me
But nothing is taking me
Try as I might
Flickering lights
Patterns and shadows
Of figures grow bigger
They’re marching and spinning
They dance in the door frame
And into my eyes
How can I sleep?
When all of my wildest
Childish dreams
Awaken at night
Illuminated by
Lights on the tree
Lights on the tree
Snowflakes outside
The falling of flurries
Dampen the stirrings
Of creatures and dancers
And all of the soldiers
With gingerbread feet
Wind on the pane
Howling like ghosts who
Fly in from the cold
Like stories we’re told
When we’re just old
Enough to believe
How can I sleep?
When all of my wildest
Childish dreams
Awaken at night
Illuminated by
Lights on the tree
Lights on the tree
Tucked in my bed
Anxiously waiting
For sleep to come take me
But nothing is taking me
Try as I might
Flickering lights
Patterns and shadows
Of figures grow bigger
They’re marching and spinning
They dance in the door frame
And into my eyes
How can I sleep?
When all of my wildest
Childish dreams
Awaken at night
Illuminated by
Lights on the tree
Lights on the tree
Snowflakes outside
The falling of flurries
Dampen the stirrings
Of creatures and dancers
And all of the soldiers
With gingerbread feet
Wind on the pane
Howling like ghosts who
Fly in from the cold
Like stories we’re told
When we’re just old
Enough to believe
How can I sleep?
When all of my wildest
Childish dreams
Awaken at night
Illuminated by
Lights on the tree
Lights on the tree
