When the snow falls on Christmas Eve
And everything's white
I sit by the window
And remember another night
When Mama played the organ
And we turned off all the lights
And we all stood around her
And sang Silent Night
The organ is quiet now
And Mama's gone
The sound of that Christmas Eve
Will live on and on
We sang all the old carols
The hymns she loved to hear
And she played them over, one by one
From memory, and by ear
And then she'd find the ancient album
With its pages turned gold
And the crayon-colored paper star
I made so long ago
But brighter than any star
Was the love in Mama's eyes
As she said, "Merry Christmas, kids"
And she kissed us goodnight
And everything's white
I sit by the window
And remember another night
When Mama played the organ
And we turned off all the lights
And we all stood around her
And sang Silent Night
The organ is quiet now
And Mama's gone
The sound of that Christmas Eve
Will live on and on
We sang all the old carols
The hymns she loved to hear
And she played them over, one by one
From memory, and by ear
And then she'd find the ancient album
With its pages turned gold
And the crayon-colored paper star
I made so long ago
But brighter than any star
Was the love in Mama's eyes
As she said, "Merry Christmas, kids"
And she kissed us goodnight
