  Music and Lyrics by: Cathy Neff

  Close your eyes and dream away;
  You’ll awake on Christmas Day
  With your eyes aglow and fallen snow
  When you wake up in the morning.

  Angels keep while you sleep.
  Choirs sing as you dream.
  He is ever near you
  To hear you pray.
  Sleep, and when you wake
  It’s Christmas Day.

  Dream about a silent night.
  Dream about a holy light,
  And the Babe whose birth we’ll celebrate
  When you wake up in the morning.

  Angels keep while you sleep.
  Choirs sing as you dream.
  He is ever near you
  To hear you pray.
  Sleep, and when you wake
  It’s Christmas Day.

  Dream away! Dream away!
  You’ll awake on Christmas Day!
  Bells will ring and choirs sing
  When you wake up in the morning.

  Angels keep their watch around you while you sleep.
  Choirs sing as you dream.
  Though your eyes can’t see it,
  Just believe
  When you wake up on Christmas Day.
