The kids are finally in bed
  Visions in their heads
  The gifts are laid out
  Where they can see
  Placed there by you and me
  We're holding hands by the fire
  Both so happily tired
  This is the time
  We wait for every year
  
  It's late Christmas eve
  That special time just for you and me
  All the colors of Christmas
  A glow by the light of the tree
  The kids have been so good
  We probably got them more than we should
  It's one of those times you know
  Why you believe
  Late Christmas eve
  
  The house is blessed with the sound
  Of a new soft snow falling down
  Tomorrow's excitement just seems
  To hang in the air
  It's suspended there
  It's the single best night of the year
  Knowing the kids biggest day is so near
  Tonight is ours
  But tomorrow's all there's
  
  
  For ever and ever and ever darlin'
  It will always be
  That very special time
  Just for you and me
  Late Christmas eve
