Lyrics
On Christmas Night
We had presents to open - on Christmas night
We were dreaming of Santa on his sleigh
We all were dreaming today
We drank us some good cheer - on Christmas night
We were thinking of loved ones so far away
We all were wishing today
Chorus:
Women or men and Black or White
and the old or young
The rich poor or the poor rich
Everyone is but one
We felt Christmas spirit - on Christmas night
We sang for our brothers and peace on earth
We all were hoping tonight
Instr. + Chorus:
We were tucked up and sleeping - on Christmas Night
We were dreaming of Santa on his way
We all were dreaming today
