twas the night before christmas all white with snow

I was lying back waiting for my baby to show

I was searching my mind for the right things to say

'cause she had to leave the very next day

When out on the driveway i heard such a clatter

I dimmed all the lights and put on clyde mcphatter

And she came to the doorway and she gave me a kiss

And the rest of the night went something like this.....



It was a night

Oo what a night it was, it really was

Such a night

The moon was bright

Oo how bright it was, it really was

Such a night

The night was alive

With the stars above

Oo when she kissed

I had to fall in love.



Oo it was a kiss

Oo what a kiss it was, it really was

Such a kiss

How she could kiss!

Oo what a kiss it was, it really was

Such a kiss

Just the thought of her lips sets me afire

I reminisce, i'm filled with desire.



And i gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)

Oh how i remember! (doo wah, doo wah)

I'll always remember...(doo wah, doo wah)



Oo that night

Oo what a night it was, it really was

Such a night

Came the dawn

And my heart and her love and the night were gone

But i know i'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight

Oo such a kiss

Oo such a night



And i gave my heart to her in sweet surrender (doo wah, doo wah)

Oh how i remember! (doo wah, doo wah)

I'll always remember (doo wah, doo wah)



Oo that night

Oo what a night it was, it really was

Such a night

Came the dawn

And my heart and her love and the night were gone

But i know i'll never forget her kiss in the moonlight

Oo such a kiss

Oo such a night



Well it's now christmas morning and my baby's gone

So i light up the tree and turn the radio on

I sit down in my chair and let out a sigh

I sang away in a manager and angels on high

Now my family and friends will soon knock on my door

So i'll say merry christmas to you and to yours

May your days be cheerful and your burdens be light

Oh but mostly i wish everyone such a night



Now she's gone, gone, gone

Yeah she's gone, gone, gone

And the dawn, dawn, dawn

And the night was gone

And my heart was gone

And her love was gone

And before the dawn

Oh oh oh

Such a night!!
