It's the night before Christmas
And children are sleepless
It's hard but they're closing their eyes

Cause they know an old friend
Will be flying again through the night


And the bars are all rockin'
And there's last minute shoppin'
And stockings to hang on the walls

Cause so long ago now
A baby called Jesus was born


Oh it's Christmas time
A time for love and cheer again
Oh it's Christmas time

Let's remember the difference it makes
Oh it makes


Now the gifts are all open
And some have been broken
Already ...

But it's Christmas day
So we don't take the insults to heart


There's the table, the turkey
The queen on the TV
And plenty of drinks to go round

And we'll take 40 wings
And a couple more drinks
It's another big night on the town


Oh it's Christmas time
A time for love and cheer again

Yes it's Christmas time
Let's forgive and forget all mistakes


Cause it's Christmas time
A time when I wish you were here again
Yes it's Christmas time

Let's remember the difference it makes
Oh it makes


Let's raise a glass
To the friends who have passed
And the ones who just couldn't be here

Then we'll sing...
We'll bring in another new year
Cause it's Christmas time

A time for love and cheer again
Yes it's Christmas time
Let's forgive and forget all mistakes


Cause it's Christmas time
A time when I wish you were here again

Oh it's Christmas time
Let's remember the difference it makes


Cause it's Christmas time
A time for love and cheer again
Cause it's Christmas time

Let's forgive and forget all mistakes

Cause it's Christmas time

A time when I wish you were here
Oh it's Christmas time
Let's remember the difference it makes

Oh it makes
