You said you couldn't stay too long
But then you stayed much longer
You said you never sang this song
But then you sang it stronger
And when I took your hand in mine
I said it wasn't for all time
But now, like miracles, I find the light continues to shine
Ah, eight days and eight nights, hanukkah, hanukkah
Light the candles burning bright, hanukkah, hanukkah
No one believed the flame would last
But now we celebrate the past, hanukkah, hanukkah, hanukkah
Eight nights opening gifts, hanukkah, hanukkah
Better than Christmas, don't you wish? Oh, hanukkah, hanukkah
Judah Maccabee was for us, so eat potato pancakes with apple sauce
Hanukkah, hanukkah, hanukkah
Ooh, I really love you
I didn't think it would go, but now I know
I believe in miracles
Eight nights, festival of lights, hanukkah, hanukkah
Eight nights, happy and bright, oh, hanukkah, hanukkah
No one believed that we could win
But now we celebrate what's been
Hanukkah, hanukkah, oh, hanukkah
Hanukkah, hanukkah, hanukkah, hanukkah
