Singing round the piano on Christmas Eve
Snow is gently falling in amongst the leaves
Soon ‘twill be midnight and all will be in bed
Sing softly, so softly women first and then the men
Lift voices, lift praises little children now join in
And we sing la la la la hallelujah
La la la la hallelujah
And all through the night, those melodies released
Fill Christmas hours with sweet love and sweet peace
Presents wait silently for the children to awake
And when sunshine floods the home with Christmas morn
Treasures light up the decorations we so yearly adore
And we sing la la la la hallelujah
La la la la hallelujah
Now we sing round the piano on Christmas Day
And into our hearts the music has again found its way
Overnight the snow has left a winter’s dream
The children run outside and laugh with Christmas glee
And love is captured on the notes so lovingly set free
Sing softly, so softly
Women first and then the men
Lift voices, lift praises
Little children now join in
And we sing la la la la hallelujah
La la la la hallelujah

As I read (sang!) through your song, the Song of Songs 2:12 came to mind, “the season of singing has come.”
