Early Christmas Morning
Chatterton Elementary School Choir Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Listen to the children sing
Watch them dancing all 'round the Christmas tree ...
Waiting for the opening
Early Christmas morning ...

All around the world is sleeping
Little children there's no peeping
Wait and see what Santa's bringing
Early Christmas morning ...

Icicles and breakfast cakes ...
Friends and family we will celebrate
Sounds that joy and laughter make
Early Christmas morning ...

All around and far off places
Angels waken smiling faces
Wrapping us with love and graces




Early Christmas morning ...
Early Christmas morning ...
