Been quite a hairy few weeks. if this continues I soon won't have any friends, if you see what I mean. frown
Anyway:
I wrote this 1991/92 when my son was 7 0r 8 and he was exited for Xmas. I had seen him in his school concert singing carols. he really put his heart and soul into the singing (haha grin ) ; and he was now trying the "can I have just one, Dad" trick before he went to bed.
When he had finally gone, and the wife was checking the wine was worth drinking, I wrote the tune, the words were honed over the following months! Didn't sound a bit like this version, tho.

Last Christmas eve night

last Christmas eve it was'nt raining
but boy oh boy was it cold
last Christmas eve I was explaining
How your Christmas day would go
the tree was setup in the corner
lights on ready to go
presents were piled up in the corner
and all you wanted was for Santa to show

and you were singing Hallelulah
singing with all your might
singing Hallelulah
with me, last Christmas eve night

the cat was outin the kitchen
pacing back and forward on the floor
the dogs as usual were sleeping by the fire
amusing us with their snores

and you were singing Hallelulah
singing with all your might
singing Hallelulah
with me, last Christmas eve night

and you were singing Hallelulah
singing with all your might
singing Hallelulah
with me, last Christmas eve night
