Shelby’s Christmas Eve

Lyrics

The tree is all decorated The lights are aglow The ground is covered By the new fallen snow Families are gathered All together again Reliving memories Of way back when Children and grandchildren All running about All through the house Their laughter rings out Friends and neighbors They all stop by Some to stay awhile Others, just to say "Hi" Under the mistletoe A couple kisses in the hall It's the time of year When love's shared by all Old hurts are finally Laid down to rest And to get along Everyone tries their best The cookies and eggnog Are just about gone One small child Tries to hide a sleepy yawn As bedtime approaches And draws near The children crawl into bed Not with one tear Even the dog and cat Seem to get along While everyone gathers To sing one last song Joyous glee And wondrous delight Just an old fashioned Christmas Eve night
