Once A Year

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 learned to love like it?s Christmas More than once a year No one rings a bell at the mall in June But nobody said we can?t give then, too 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 learned 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 learned to love like it?s Christmas More than once a year
