was the night before Christmas all white with snow   I was lying back waiting for my baby to show   I was searching my mind for the right things to say   'Cause she had to leave the very next day   When out on the driveway I heard such a clatter   I dimmed all the lights and put on Clyde McPhatter   And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss   And the rest of the night went something like this.....      It was a night   Oo what a night it was, it really was   Such a night   The moon was bright   Oo how bright it was, it really was   Such a night   The night was alive   With the stars above   Oo when she kissed   I had to fall in love.      Oo it was a kiss   Oo what a kiss it was, it really was   Such a kiss   How she could kiss!    Oo what a kiss it was, it really was   Such a kiss   Just the thought of her lips sets me afire   I reminisce, I'm filled with desire.      And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)   Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)   I'll always remember...(doo wah, doo wah)      Oo that night   Oo what a night it was, it really was   Such a night   Came the dawn    And my heart and her love and the night were gone   But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight   Oo such a kiss   Oo such a night      And I gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)   Oh how I remember! (doo wah, doo wah)   I'll always remember (doo wah, doo wah)      Oo that night   Oo what a night it was, it really was   Such a night   Came the dawn   And my heart and her love and the night were gone   But I know I'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight   Oo such a kiss   Oo such a night      Well it's now Christmas morning And my baby's gone   So I light up the tree And turn the radio on   I sit down in my chair And let out a sigh   I sang Away in a Manager and Angels on High   Now my family and friends will soon knock on my door   So I'll say Merry CHristmas to you and to yours   May your days be cheerful and your burdens be light   Oh but mostly I wish everyone Such a Night      Now she's gone, gone, gone   Yeah she's gone, gone, gone   And the dawn, dawn, dawn   And the night was gone    And my heart was gone   And her love was gone   And before the dawn   Oh oh oh   Such a night!!
