Christmas Eve - Dave Barnes
I've been counting down the minutes
I've been counting down the year
Just to see mama outside waiting
And daddy grinning ear to ear
The driveway gets so crowded
And the Earth just gets so still
We'll all tell our stories
We'll all sing our songs
While the kids can't sleep from guessing
When Santa's gonna come
The presents all are waiting
But I've got what I need
There ain't nothing quite like Christmas Eve
See there's something about the waiting
But knowing what's to come
And the same old conversations
That keep us feeling young
No one goes to sleep until we see
The angel gets his wings
We'll all tell our stories
We'll all sing our songs
While the kids can't sleep from guessing
When Santa's gonna come
The presents all are waiting
But I've got what I need
There ain't nothing quite like Christmas Eve
There's hope in the snow that's falling
Christmas Eve
And love is all around all around
We'll all tell our stories
We'll all sing our songs
While the kids can't sleep from guessing
When Santa's gonna come
It's no matter what I'm giving
Cause I've got what I need
There ain't nothing quite like Christmas Eve
There ain't nothing like Christmas Eve
