Once again the windows
Shine with pretty lights
Once again our loved ones
Gather at our sight
Busy crowds of strangers
Greet each other with a smile
There's Christmas
In the eyes of every child
Once again the presents
Are resting by the tree
Once again we worship
The One who came for you and me
I hear choirs of voices
As they're singing out His name
Again we tell the story
Of how the Christ Child came
One night a year
We believe in peace on earth
One night a year
We praise our Savior's birth
I wish every night
The whole year through
Could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
One night a year
Once again around the world
Heads are bowed in prayer
Once again the promise
Of peace is in the air
But soon will come the morning
And the feeling will be past
And I can't help but wonder
Why the feeling only lasts
One night a year
We believe in peace on earth
One night a year
We praise our Savior's birth
I wish every night
The whole year through
Could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
One night a year
We believe in peace on earth
One night a year
We praise our Savior's birth
I wish every night
The whole year through
Could be like Christmas Eve
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
One night a year
One night a year
