C                            F
There's a magic light in the stars tonight
   G7                     C
It shines with a wondrous glow
                                 F
There's a whisper of love in the silence of
D7             G7
Gently falling snow

        F
There's cookies and milk on the table
G7                      C
Ribbons on bright candy canes
    F
And every child who is able
          D7                 G7
Has their nose to the window pane

Am                              F
Cause for only one night of the year
G7                     C
You can see flying reindeer
           Am         F
And if you believe in Christmas Eve
        G7                  Am
There's no telling who will appear
F
With his whiskers and pipe
                  G7           C
He comes only one night of the year

                             F
It's the sugar plum world of cinnamon swirls
  G7                      C
A hint of pinewood in the air
                            F
As the church bell chimes I count twelve times
    D7                G7
And slip into my easy chair

   F
To watch the fire die to an ember
G7                      C
And drift into a winter dream
     F
Of a magical night in December
    D7               G7
And faith in a sight unseen

Repeat #3  And for...

             Am         F
Ummmm if you believe in Christmas Eve
G7                    Am
Raise a glass of good cheer
F
Cause wish as we might
                  G7           C
It comes only one night of the year
