Lyrics
On This Christmas Eve
words and music by Vance Grazio and Craig Whitson c 2013
verse 1
Snowflakes falling, Christmas calling, a child on bended knee,
Looking for his name on presents underneath the tree,
As carols play, there's one more day, to see what Santa leaves,
Excitement and anticipation on this Christmas Eve
verse 2
Cookies baking, memory making, on this day each year,
Friends and family 'round the table, raise a glass of cheer,
Playing games, hugs exchanged, tales of old to weave,
Life and love are bound together, on this Christmas Eve
Chorus:
Yuletide snow, mistletoe, firelight, the manger glows,
Church bells ring, choirs sing, peace , goodwill to all
verse 3
My love keeps growing, overflowing, because you’re here with me,
You and I on Christmas Morning, the best gift there could be,
I feel just like that child again , kneeling at the tree,
With excitement and anticipation, on this Christmas Eve.
(repeat chorus)
coda
Life and love are bound together, on this Christmas Eve
