Late Christmas eve

The kids are finally in bed
With visions in their heads
The gifts are laid out where they can see
Placed there by you and me
We're holdin' hands by the fire
Both so happily tired
This is the time we wait for every year

It's late Christmas Eve
That special time just for you and me
All the colors of Christmas aglow
By the light of the tree
The kids have been so good
We probably got them more than we should
It's one of those times you know
Why you believe
Late Christmas Eve

The house is blessed with the sound
Of the new soft snow fallin' down
Tomorrow's excitement just seems
To hang in the air
It's suspended there
It's the single best night of the year
Knowin' the kids' biggest day is so near
Tonight is ours
But tomorrow's all theirs

It's late Christmas Eve
That special time just for you and me
All the colors of Christmas aglow
By the light of the tree
The kids have been so good
We probably got them more than we should
It's one of those times you know
Why you believe
Late Christmas Eve

Forever and ever and ever darlin'
It will always be
That very special time
Just for you and me

Late Christmas Eve
Late Christmas Eve
