[Verse 1]
Christmas Eve, that's the night
Came the stars shining bright
Came the Lord with the light
Trying to show us wrong from right
(Trying to show us wrong from right) Oh yeah
[Chorus]
Through the sun that He created
Faith in Him would be reinstated
The coming child was celebrated
I believe in Christmas Eve
[Verse 2]
Oh, holy night before Christmas Day
Mary in the manger lay
There in labor on the hay
Christ the Savior on the way
(Christ the Savior on the way) Ah yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
The gift of love He would bring
A baby child who'd be a king
Oh, listen while the angels sing
I believe in Christmas Eve
[Bridge]
Ooh, yeah (I believe in Christmas Eve)
I believe in Christmas Eve
[Verse 3]
Ooh, silent night before he came (Silent night)
All is quiet, all is tame
Jesus Christ they call his name (Holy night)
To heal the sick and stand the lame
(To heal the sick and stand the lame) Ah yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
Watching, waiting as we pray
Knowin' joy is on the way
Holy night before Christmas Day
I believe in Christmas Eve
(I believe in Christmas Eve)
[Outro]
(Everybody, don't you know now?) Oh yeah
(I believe in Christmas Eve)
(Everybody, don't you know now?) Uh-huh, now
(I believe in Christmas Eve) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Everybody, don't you know now?) Oh yeah, now
(I believe in Christmas Eve)
(Everybody, don't you know?) Yeah, yeah
Christmas Eve, that's the night
Came the stars shining bright
Came the Lord with the light
Trying to show us wrong from right
(Trying to show us wrong from right) Oh yeah

The coming child was celebrated

Oh, holy night before Christmas Day
