CHRISTMAS EVE
Reading edition
In Christmas Eve the little stars Sparkle and glisten with delight, Like strings of glitt’ring diamonds, Across the darkness of the night. On Christmas Eve the little stars Dance in their places in the sky; Ah! I would go and trip with them If I could only climb as high. On Christmas Eve the little stars Sing merry carols all night long; But O! I am so far away I cannot even hear their song. On Christmas Eve the little stars Sparkle, and dance, and sing till dawn; And I am singing too, because To-morrow will be Christmas Morn.
