Lyrics

Early in the morning
As the sun is rising
While the winter birds sing their melodies
I turn to find you?re no longer near me
EARLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Peeking down the stairway
I spy you with the stockings
Adding gifts to fill them overflowing
The tree, alight with colors a-glowing
EARLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY

When the kids come down
Their eyes will glow?look all around
?Look at this here, and over there?
?Look what I found! So big and so round?
They?ll wonder how Santa got in here
And where he left his reindeer
Oh, no! We forgot the milk and cookies
Oh, well! Maybe next year we?ll remember
EARLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Hush! I hear a sound
The kids are up?walking around
Tell them to wait! No, it?s too late!
Ready or not, they?re coming down
Dad, tell me how Santa got in here
And where he left his reindeer
Mama, we forgot the milk and cookies
Oh, well! Maybe next year we?ll remember
EARLY ON CHRISTMAS DAY
