[Verse 1]
Open hearts and signs of love and joy
For every girl and boy
How easily we lose this feeling
We're together in this happy room
Santa's coming soon
I can see it in your eyes
Let's remember the way feel tonight
The tinsel shining bright
This is how it oughta be
[Pre-Chorus]
Hearts are bouncing to and fro
Making angels in snow
So enchanting, and I just want to know
[Chorus]
Why should Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
[Verse 2]
End up giving, make it from your heart
Loving is an art
Share it now before it's gone
Just remember, the lion and the lamb
And help us understand
What we've all been doing wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Kitchen smells of cinnamon
Sound of bells in winter wind
So enchanting, and I just want to know
[Chorus]
Why should Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
[Bridge]
When it's time to go, under mistletoe
Share a kiss, make a wish, and say so
[Chorus]
Why must Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
[Outro]
Christmas be only once a year?
Is it happiness we fear?
Let us keep the spirit ever near
