Twas the night before Christmas all white with snow
It was a snowy night before Christmas

I was lying back waiting for my baby to show
I was waiting for my baby to arrive

I was searching my mind for the right things to say
I was trying to think of the right words to say

'cause she had to leave the very next day
Because she had to leave the next day

When out on the driveway I heard such a clatter
I heard noise outside on the driveway

I dimmed all the lights and put on Clyde Mcphatter
I turned down the lights and put on music by Clyde McPhatter

And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss
She came to the door and kissed me

And the rest of the night went something like this
The night continued in a certain way

It was a night
It was a special night

Oh what a night it was, it really was
It was a truly unforgettable night

Such a night
A remarkable, special night

The moon was bright
The moon was shining brightly

Oh how bright it was, it really was
It was exceptionally bright

Such a night
A remarkable and special night

The night was alive
The night was full of energy

With the stars above
The stars shone above

Oh when she kissed
When she kissed me

I had to fall in love.
I fell in love

Oh it was a kiss
It was a special kiss

Oh what a kiss it was, it really was
It was truly unforgettable

Such a kiss
An exceptional kiss

How she could kiss!
She was an excellent kisser

Oh what a kiss it was, it really was
It was truly unforgettable

Such a kiss
An exceptional kiss

Just the thought of her lips sets me afire
I get excited just thinking about kissing her

I reminisce, I'm filled with desire.
I think back and feel a strong desire

And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender
I gave my heart to her willingly

Oh how I remember!
I remember it vividly

I'll always remember
I'll never forget

Came the dawn
The morning came

And my heart and her love and the night were gone
My heart, her love and the night all ended

But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight
I'll never forget her kiss under the moonlight

Well it's now Christmas morning and my baby's gone
It's Christmas morning and my baby has gone

So I light up the tree and turn the radio on
I turn the tree lights on and play the radio

I sit down in my chair and let out a sigh
I sit down and breathe a sigh

I sang away in a manager and angels on high
I sang Christmas songs

Now my family and friends will soon knock on my door
My family and friends will visit me soon

So I'll say merry Christmas to you and to yours
I'll wish everyone a Merry Christmas

May your days be cheerful and your burdens be light
I hope you have happy days and light burdens

Oh but mostly I wish everyone such a night
But mostly, I wish everyone to have such a special night

Now she's gone, gone, gone
She's gone now

Yeah she's gone, gone, gone
Yes, she's gone

And the dawn, dawn, dawn
The morning has come

And the night was gone
The night passed

And my heart was gone
My heart went with her

And her love was gone
Her love also left with her

And before the dawn
Before morning came

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Such a night!
What a special night!
