Chaka Khan — Christmas Only Once a Year

[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
