The Temptations
"Silent Night"

'Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.

In my mind,
Ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I want you to be free

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

For all of our friends,

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

To listen to me

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Now hear what I say

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

We wish you a Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
To each one of you (To all of you)

Silent night, holy night
All is calm and all is bright

Round yon virgin mother and child
Holy infant, so tender and mild

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in heaven, heavenly peace

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Go on and rest you mind

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

And sleep

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Sleep in heavenly peace

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight

Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia

Christ the Savior is born
Oh, yes he is
Christ, Christ the Savior is born

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

What a joyous day

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Silent night, holy night
(As I sit around by the fire place, watching the gleaming scene)

All is calm and all is bright
(If I had one wish in this world, it would be that all men might be free)

Round yon virgin mother and child
(Lets all join hands, oooh to celebrate the Savior's birth)

Holy infant, so tender and mild
(Lets give thinks unto the world, for Jesus Christ is born)

Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in heaven, heavenly peace

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Just sleep and relax your mind

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

To all our family and friends

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Merry Christmas from The Temptations.
