When the snow falls on Christmas Eve
And everything's covered with white I sit by the window And remember another night When Mama played the organ And we turned off all the lights And we all stood around her And sang Silent Night And the organ is quiet now And Mama's gone But the sound of that Christmas Eve Will live on, and on We sang all the old carols And the hymns she loved to hear And she'd play them over one by one From memory, and by ear And then she'd find the ancient album With it's pages turned gold And the crayon colored paper star I made so long ago But brighter than any star Was the love in Mama's eyes As she said "Merry Christmas kids" And she kissed us goodnight And the organ is quiet now And Mama's gone But the sound of that Christmas Eve Will live on, and on The years have gone by now Since that last Christmas Eve But the joy is still with me And the love will never leave When Mama played the organ And we turned off all the lights And we all stood together And sang the last Silent Night |
