Once a year there comes a time when love is in the air

Everywhere you look, you see a smile

Friendly faces see that someone really cares

I wish it could last forever and not just for a while



Fires burning warmer even though snow is on the ground

Stars are shining brighter in the sky

That very special day is about to come around

When God smiles down from Heaven

And the whole world comes alive



I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And every night like Christmas Eve

I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And I know it could if we would just believe



Children sing and pray while they wait for their surprise

Their laughter sounds just like a happy song

If only we could see the world through children's eyes

Oh, we would have the spirit of Christmas all the whole year long



I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And every night like Christmas Eve

I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And I know it could if we would just believe



I wish everyday could be like Christmas

And I know it could if we would just believe
