Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve

The Christmas tree has a shining star.
Children lay in their bed listening for bells.
To come to their house Santa will travel far.
The Christmas tree has a shining star.
Underneath they hope to find a train, a doll or a car.
That they've been good all this year, 'tis true to tell.
The Christmas tree has a shining star.
Children lay in their beds listening for bells.
