The Night Before Christmas (Children carry through the streets)   Lyrics by: Carly Simon      Children carry through the streets   A brightly painted star   Angels gather 'round the hearth   Strumming on guitars   Men of great renown and faith   Say prayers on boulevards   It's the night before Christmas      But you don't have to be an angel   To sing harmony   And you don't have to be a child   To love the mystery   And you don't have to be a wise man   On bended knee   The heart of this Christmas is in you and me      The night before Christmas   The night before Christmas      If you're heart's been longing   And you've been afraid to try   Sorrow's kept you company   And the dance has passed you by   I'll lift you up and blaze with you   Across the moonlit sky   On the night before Christmas      'Cause you don't have to be an angel   To sing in harmony   And you don't have to be a child to love the mystery   And you don't have to be a wise man   On bended knee      The heart of this Christmas is in you and me   The heart of this Christmas is in you and me      The night before Christmas   The night before Christmas
