'Twas the night before Christmas
And all through the house
Not a creature was stirring
Not even a mouse

In my mind
I want you to be free
For all of our friends
Would you listen to me?
Now hear what I say
We wish you a Merry
Merry Christmas
To each (to one of you), one of you

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in heaven-heavenly peace

Go on and rest your mind
And sleep
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born, oh yes he is
(Christ) Christ
(Christ) Christ the Savior is born

What a joyous day

Silent night (As I sit around by the fireplace)
Holy night (watching the gleaming tree)
All is calm (If I had one wish in this world)
All is bright (it would be that all men would be free)
Round yon virgin (let's all hold hands)
Mother and child (to celebrate the Savior)
Holy infant, so (let's give thanks unto the world)
Tender and mild (Jesus' birth)
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in heavenly, heavenly peace

Just sleep and relax your mind
To all our family and friends
I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Merry Christmas from The Temptations
