Early Christmas Morning
Cyndi Lauper 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
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

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
Early Christmas morning

Christmas, Christmas morning
Yeah, joy to the world
And listen to the children singing
Singing, Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas




Yeah, Christmas morning
Have a Christmas morning
