Bedtime on Christmas eve
Rest now your sleepy head
Santa won’t come
’til your tucked up in bed
So let’s listen for reindeer
and turn off the light
Waiting for bells
in the cold winter night
You’ve written your letter
been good the whole year
no child has been better
there’s nothing to fear
so sleep, my darling baby,
go to sleep
Midnight has rolled around
Christmas is calling
I’m glad you’re excited
but darling just please go to sleep
and I promise
you won’t miss a thing
Santa will come and be gone in a blink
Your gifts will be waiting
you’ll have all day long
for laughter and smiles
for play and for song
but for now, my darling baby
just go to sleep
Of course he knows,
he always knows
if we’re awake
then off he goes
so one more turn
and one more yawn
then peace and quiet
before the dawn
It’s already three AM
your eyes are still open
you’re starting to worry
if Santa can cope
on a roof with no chimney
or towers of flats
Does Santa leave presents
for dogs and for cats?
Your questions are cute
but they’ll keep til the morning
so listen up kid
this is your final warning
just sleep, my darling baby
go to sleep.
