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 hint of pine wood in the air As the church bell chimes, a count 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 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
