Soldier’s Gift

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 'Twas the night before Christmas When all through the house Not a creature was stirring Not even a mouse No stockings were hung The mantle was bare St. Nicholas looked around And no one was there [Chorus] Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh We've never met 'em, names not on our list But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift [Verse 2] A housе cold and quiet A sad sight to see No tinsel, no presеnts Not a light on a tree Just some medals and badges In a frame on the wall That stand at attention If duty should call [Chorus] Yeah, tonight there's a soldier in a land far away While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh We've never met 'em, names not on our list But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift [Bridge] Green and red paper Big bows and ribbons Outside the snow falls And Icicles glisten Joy To The World From a caroling choir Mistletoe kisses Throw a log on the fire [Chorus] 'Cause tonight there's a soldier in a land far away While the children listen for the bells on a sleigh We've never met 'em, names not on our list But you'll sleep well America, that's the soldier's gift [Outro] Yeah, God blessed America with the soldier's gift
