''Twas a few nights before Christmas 

Winter as cold as the mountain peaks 

Dark moonlit night it was 

The moon light which highlighted your cheeks

Sun was stolen from the sky 

The shepherds sang the glory rhyme 

Sat far you by the fire 

Who you wait for, lady mine

Felt so lonely, felt so mild 

It's a Christmas season, smile

Spread the joy, spread love around 

The two things, hidden, in you I found 

You sit there thinking about times 

Times you fought, lost track of lines 

Ever wonder where I might be 

In the streets, the church or my reverie

Another chapter in my endless stories you write 

Maybe not treat you like a princess, but my lady in white 

Cold wind blows, making the hands cold 

When I reach out, warm, your cheeks, like everglow

As 'twas the night before Christmas 

I ran away from worldly business 

Knew the place to go after the liquor round 

Fast I ran, sweating in the winter so cold, I found 

I found belief, believe I fell, but not down
