Look out of the window What's passing you by If you really want this bad enough You're young and good looking The keys to the kingdom Sooner Sooner or later Sooner or later And before your very eyes And before your very eyes And before your very eyes Old soul on young shoulders How you'll look when you're older Times' fickle card game with you and I You have to take your chances The book of forgiveness Sooner or later Sooner or later Sooner or later And before your very eyes And before your very eyes And before your very eyes Sooner or later And before your very eyes And before your very eyes And before your very eyes

It was the night before Christmas, when all through the house Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse The stockings were hung by the chimney with care In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there The children were nestled, all snug in their beds While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap Had just settled down for a long winter's nap When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter Away to the window I flew like a flash Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below When, what to my wondering eyes should appear But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer With a little old driver, so lively and quick I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick More rapid than eagles his coursers they came And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name Now, Dasher, now Dancer, now, Prancer and Vixen On, Comet, on Cupid, on Donder and Blitzen To the top of the porch, to the top of the wall Now dash away, dash away, dash away all As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky So up to the house-top the coursers they flew With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof The prancing and pawing of each little hoof As I drew in my hand, and was turning around Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot A bundle of toys he had flung on his back And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack His eyes, how they twinkled, his dimples, how merry His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth And the smoke, it encircled his head like a wreath He had a broad face and a little round belly That shook when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself A wink of his eye and a twist of his head Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk And laying his finger aside of his nose And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle And away they all flew like the down of a thistle But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night

I love that distant beam of light And (?) neon floods my weary eyes It illuminates my soul, is inspired I'm heading your way with the traffic By my side Remember how it was before Just a minute away I'll be knocking on your front door Don't underestimate, this place is tired Every second is treated as though There is no time Your eyes are wider than before So little has changed But your eyes now see much more Hush, now sway and fall asleep Gonna drive you away from the trampling of bustling feet You can lose your troubled thoughts For tonight at least You can wake in the morning Feeling that you can breathe Little darling you're mine for tonight Your mellow and tender self Is hard to climb From you, I turn all doubts deep inside I surrender myself to your presence And peace of mind Your eyes are wider than before So little has changed But your eyes now see much more So much more So, so much more So much more So much more
