Good night by Glynis Hale
Little boy beams from ear to ear, as he realises Christmas time is near
He's thinking of the presents, that he hopes that he will find
He'd like a big red car or a boat, but he doesn't really mind
Because it's exciting opening anything that's labelled just for him
But he'll have to wait a little while, till Santa's round begins
On Christmas eve his mummy, is baking hot mince pies
Daddy calls it's snowing and he can't believe his eyes
As the flakes so silently fall to floor
There's a hearty knock upon the door
And the Sally Army brass band plays
We give ten pence, that's not a lot these days
But they burst into chorus of Silent Night
As they stand beneath the lamp post light
Oh little boy I hope this means a lot to you
As it does for me and always will do
Christmas is here, Jesus is born
Now up to bed and sleep till morn
And promise not to peep if you here the sleigh
And Santa chuckling on his way
For half the fun is never seeing
That magical, mysterious, human being
We know he exists, all right God bless darling, sleep well, good night
