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
