Here are the lyrics for, "Christmas Eve" by Tatsuro Yamashita in Japanese, with a romaji translation. You can also hear the song, "Christmas Eve" on Youtube. There is an English version; though the lyrics are not a literal translation of the Japanese version. Check out my blog about, "Christmas Eve".
クリスマスイブ
雨は夜更け過ぎに 雪へと変わるだろう

きっと君は来ない ひとりきりのクリスマスイブ

心深く 秘めた想い 叶えられそうもない
必ず今夜なら 言えそうな気がした
Silent night, Holy night
まだ消え残る 君への想い 夜へと降り続く
街角にはクリスマスツリー 銀色のきらめき
Silent night, Holy night
