It was 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
But she had to leave the very next day
When out in the driveway, I heard such a clatter
I dimmed all the lights and put on Clyde McPhatter
And she came through the doorway and she gave me a kiss
And the rest of the night went something like this
It was a night, ooh, what a night it was
It really was such a night
The moon was bright, ooh, how bright it was
It really was such a night
The night was alive with the stars above
Ooh, when she kissed, ooh, I had to fall in love
Ooh, it was a kiss, ooh, what a kiss it was
It really was such a kiss
How she could kiss, ooh, what a kiss it was
It really was such a kiss
Just the thought of her lips set me afire
I reminisce, I'm filled with desire
And I give my heart to her in sweet surrender (Why do I?)
Oh, how I remember (Why do I?)
I'll always remember (Why do I?)
Ooh, that night, ooh, 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
Ooh, such a kiss, ooh, such a night
And I give my heart to her in sweet surrender (Why do I?)
Oh, how I remember (Why do I?)
I'll always remember (Why do I?)
Ooh, that night, ooh, 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
Ooh, such a kiss, ooh, such a night
Well, it's now Christmas morning and my baby's gone
So I light up the tree, turn the radio on
I sit down in my chair and let out a sigh
I sang "Away in a Manger" 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
Yes, 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
