The Night Before Christmas
by Alabama

Album: The Classic Christmas Album

(Jim McBride/Sam Hogin/Nelson Larkin)

Ribbons and paper cover the floor,
It's been a great Christmas with presents galore
Everyone's happy and I'm happy, too
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas I had with you

Frost on the window, snow on the ground,
Holiday spirit, holiday sounds
Everyone's thankful and I'm thankful, too
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas I had with you

It all started underneath that mistletoe
When we were waiting up just to help ole Santa Claus
We were making merry in ways we'd never thought of
When we heard those sleigh bells
And ole Santa almost caught us

We didn't take no pictures, but I still remember
One very special twenty-fourth day of December
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas I had with you

It all started underneath that mistletoe
While we were waiting up to help ole Santa Claus
We were making merry in ways
We'd never thought of
When we heard those sleigh bells
And ole Santa almost caught us

If we don't do this next year, honey,
I'm sure gonna miss it
Why don't we make it a new Yuletide tradition
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas I had with you

Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas I had with you

Oh, Merry Christmas baby
I love you so much

(Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas (Oh what a night)
I had with you (Oh what a night)
Oh, what a night, (Oh what a night)
Night before Christmas (Oh what a night)
I had with you (Oh what a night)
