Josh Wilson, Andrew Peterson - Once A Year lyrics

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 it's 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, oh
More than once a year?
