[Verse 1]
C                        Cmaj7
  Once again the windows shine with pretty lights
F                C          Fm
  Once again our loved ones gather at our side
C                G                    Am           F
  Busy crowds of strangers greet each other with a smile
Dm7                      G
There's Christmas in the eyes of every child

[Verse 2]
C                             Cmaj7
  Once again the presents are resting by the tree
F                                   Fm
  Once again we worship the One who came for you and me
       C         G                 Am              F
I hear choirs of voices as they're singing out His name
 D7                        G
Again we tell the story of how the Christ Child came

[Chorus]
            C         F                 G
One night a year we believe in peace on earth
            C       F                   G
One night a year we praise our Savior's birth
       Em              E7                       Am
I wish every night the whole year through could be
               F
Like Christmas Eve
     C                    G            F
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
            C
One night a year

[Verse 3]
C                             Cmaj7
  Once again around the world heads are bowed in prayer
F                           Fm
  Once again the promise of peace is in the air
    C                  G               F
But soon will come the morning and the feeling will be past
    D                D7             G
And I can't help but wonder why the feeling only lasts

[Chorus]
            C         F                 G
One night a year we believe in peace on earth
            C       F                   G
One night a year we praise our Savior's birth
       Em              E7                       Am
I wish every night the whole year through could be
               F
Like Christmas Eve
     C                    G            F
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
G             C
  One night a year

[Chorus]
            C         F                 G
One night a year we believe in peace on earth
            C       F                   G
One night a year we praise our Savior's birth
       Em              E7                       Am
I wish every night the whole year through could be
               F
Like Christmas Eve
     C                    G            F
When love's pure light is shining everywhere
            C
One night a year
