Hanukkah

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
