G C
Christmas eve, mom and dad
Am7 D/F#
Load the car with grocery bags
G C
They take the kids and drive downtown
Am7 D/F#
C D
And spend the night passing food out
C G
Once a year December’s here
Em D
And our hearts open up
C G
Once a year we give with cheer
Em D
To those who don’t have enough
C G
Wouldn’t it be something
B Em C
If we all learned to love like it’s Christmas
D G
More than once a year
G C
No one rings a bell at the mall in June
Am D/F#
But nobody said we can’t give then, too
G C
And when autumn comes with its changing leaves
Am D/F#
Could we spend more time with the least of these
C G
Once a year December’s here
Em D
And our hearts open up
C G
Once a year we give with cheer
Em D
To those who don’t have enough
C G
Wouldn’t it be something
Bm Em C
If we all learned to love like it’s Christmas
D G
More than once a year
C
Love is patient, love is kind
D
Love will always find the time
C
Love is now and love is here
D B
Love is more than once a year
C G
Once a year December’s here
Em D
And our hearts open up
C G
Once a year we give with cheer
Em D
To those who don’t have enough
C G
Wouldn’t it be something
B Em C
If we all learned to love like it’s Christmas
D G
More than once a year
