Christmas Eve
Mom and Dad
Load the car
With grocery bags
They take the kids
And drive downtown And spend the night
Passing food out
Once a year December's here And our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer To those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something If we all learn to love like it's Christmas
More than once a year?
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Everyone rings a bell At the mall in June
But nobody said We can't give them to
And when autumn comes With its changing leaves
Could we spend more time With the least of these?
Once a year December's here And our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer To those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something If we all learn to love like it's Christmas
More than once a year?
Love is patient Love is kind
Love will always find the time Love is now and love is here
Love is more than once a year
Once a year December's here And our hearts open up
Once a year we give with cheer To those who don't have enough
Wouldn't it be something If we all learn to love like it's Christmas
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh More than once a year?
