 Twas the night before Christmas she lay in bed As the star-of-Bethlehem twinkled overhead Mommy and daddy were downstairs fast asleep And all through the house was not heard a peep. Brother's in the cradle in the room below her And outside dancing snowflakes gently stir A frosty Christmas Eve has quietly filled the air As she clasp little hands to repeat a Christmas prayer. The last curl of smoke rose from the chimney that night As daddy's little princess closed wishful eyes tight And with all her might she prayed with heart aflutter As Santa's reindeer rose to the sky she would mutter. "Dear Lord Jesus in Heaven it's Heather down here I'm sure you know I became a big girl this year And I've been mostly good to everyone's delight So please put a bicycle in Santa's sleigh tonight." For her birthday was a doll that said mama with a wink But what she wanted most was a bicycle of pink, Notes to Santa was scribbled for each of her four years, Mom sent the last stained with a few precious tears. Now all through the town by this snowy Christmas Eve Such hard-times had settled no one could believe, It was up to Santa to provide for all Christmas morn As they celebrated the day baby Jesus was born. Once-upon-a-time in the wee hours before daylight A golden bolt of light flashed through the night And just for a blink of an eye there seemed to appear A laughing man in a sleigh pulled by reindeer. Such a clatter was made as he sleighed to Heathers' home Then with a shout "Merry Christmas" he was gone And that morning she stood before the tree with a blink Before her twinkling eyes was a bicycle of pink.
