The Night Before Christmas piano leadsheet with chords

It was the night before Christmas,

it seemed and all through the world

ev'rything looked like bus'ness as usual.

Shepherds sat on a hillside

looking up at the stars

the while the world fell asleep,

while unaware just how deep

was the darkness the night before Christmas.

And the night before Christmas,

it seemed to be just a night,

but the wind blew like something was coming.

al. And like children with secrets

that they're bursting to tell,

the cedars danced in the breeze,

while all of nature, it seemed,

held its breath on the night before Christmas.

And the And hope, hope long awaited,

the hope of the ages would break with the dawn.

And the song that all of creation

was anticipating would start with a baby's first cry.

And on the night before Christmas,

Mary laid down to rest,

while Joseph, he paced the floor praying.

And in an ev'ryday stable

in an ev'ryday town,

in the hours to come

God would wrap Himself up

and come down from heaven,

and the world would forever be changed

after the night before Christmas.
