Only One Night Of The Year

There's a magic light in the stars tonight

It shines with a wondrous glow

There's a whisper of love in the silence of

Gently falling snow

There's cookies and milk on the table

Ribbons on bright candy canes

And every child who is able

Has their nose to the window pane

'Cause for only one night of the year

You can see flying reindeer

And if you believe in Christmas' Eve

There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe

He comes only one night of the year

It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls

A hints of pinewood in the air

As the church bell chimes about twelve times

I slip into my easy chair

To watch the fire die to an ember

And drift into a winter dream

Of a magical night in December

And faith in a sight unseen

And for only one night of the year

You can see flying reindeer

And if you believe in Christmas Eve

There's no telling who will appear

With his whiskers and pipe

He comes only one night of the year

Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve

Raise a glass of good cheer

'Cause wish as we might

It comes only one night of the year
