There's a magic light in the stars tonight 
It shines with a wondrous glow 
There's a whisper of love in the silence of 
Gently falling snow 
There's cookies and milk on the table 
Ribbons on bright candy canes 
And every child who is able 
Has their nose to the window pane 

'Cause for only one night of the year 
You can see flying reindeer 
And if you believe in Christmas' Eve 
There's no telling who will appear 
With his whiskers and pipe 
He comes only one night of the year 

It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls 
A hints of pinewood in the air 
As the church bell chimes about twelve times 
I slip into my easy chair 
To watch the fire die to an ember 
And drift into a winter dream 
Of a magical night in December 
And faith in a sight unseen 

And for only one night of the year 
You can see flying reindeer 
And if you believe in Christmas Eve 
There's no telling who will appear 
With his whiskers and pipe 
He comes only one night of the year 

Ummmm, if you believe in Christmas Eve 
Raise a glass of good cheer 
'Cause wish as we might 
It comes only one night of the year
