It's the night before the night before Christmas
Old friends together the same time every year
She's leaving him but he doesn't…
…him or keep it hushed
Take a drink and a snack, talking behind his back
Soon everyone's getting lushed
It's the night before the night…
…he gets the papers, things will look grim
Why ruin Christmas for him?
It's the night before the night before Christmas
One year…

…(before the night)
Before the night (before the night)
Is gone
I'm crying now, I know it's not the way
Now in this world, I…
In this cruel game we lost
I'll cry for your love before
Before the night (before the night)
Before the night (before the…
…to do is wrong
There's no better way
We're fighting again
In this cruel game we lost
I'll cry for your love before
Before the night (before the night)
Before the night (before the night)
Is gone…

I think i love you even more than I did the night before The night before we met I think i love you even more than I did the night…
…before The night before we met
Did you ever think that if you thought about it won't come true Did you ever hope…

I think i love you even more than I did the night before The night before you left I think i love you even more than I did the night before The night before you left...

…on fire
Before the night is over
We gonna get what we desire
Before the night
Before the night
Before the night is over
Gonna get what we…
…desire
This could set our hearts on fire
Before the night
Before the night
Before the night is over
I don't wanna tell a lie
This is somethin' we can't hide
Before the night is over…

This could set our hearts on fire
Before the night is over
We gonna get what we desire
Before the night
Before the night
Before the…
…night is over
Gonna get what we desire
This could set our hearts on fire
Before the night
Before the night
Before the night is over
I…

…can't give you my autograph son
Sorry I must be going
Tell me how it was the night before
The night before
Tell me leather angels…
Was it the heaven you're been lookin' for?
Tell me how it went the night before
The night before
Tell me leather angels
What was the heaven you've been lookin' for?…

Old Red eyes is back
Red from the night before the night before
Walked into the wrong bar walked into a door
Old Red's…

Passed out in the front yard. Do you remember the night before?
(The night before?) It's coming close but still so far. (Still so…

…and light
I'm watching between the grey
For something not right
Just out of mind and memory
Blind like the time after day
And before the night…
…Before the night
Before the night
And if I'm right
The urban blight
Is not the problem
Is not the problem
Is not the problem…

…turn away, the night may hold the answer
So don't turn away, before the night, before the night
Before the night is gone
Don't turn…

Still can see the pictures
Printed on my mind
The night before, the night before
Driving and crying
Where am I going?
Motion…

…(the sun is shining, could stay for ever)
Sunday morning lying in your arms
(and I'm ready for your love, yeah)
Reminiscing of the night before
(the night…
…before yeah) my love
[Chorus]
Sunday morning lying in your arms
(ready for you love)
Close to your heart is where I belong my…

…to be true
I'll tell ya what I wanna do
Chorus x4
Gonna get what we desire
This could set our hearts on fire
Before the night…
…Before the night
Before the night is over
I don't wanna tell a lie
This is something we can't hide
Before the night is over…
