Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Come and gather around at the table
In the spirit of family and friends
And we'll all join hands and remember this moment
'Til the season comes 'round again
[Verse 2]
Let's all try to smile for the picture
And we'll hold it as long as we can
May it carry us through
Should we ever get lonely
'Til the season comes 'round again
[Chorus]
One night, holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year
[Verse 3]
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
'Til the season comes 'round again
[Chorus]
One night, holy and bright
Shining with love from our hearts
By a warm fire
Let's lift our heads high
And be thankful we're here
'Til this time next year
[Outro]
May the new year be blessed with good tidings
'Til the next time I see you again
If we must say goodbye
Let the spirit go with you
And we'll love, and we'll laugh
In the time that we had
'Til the season comes 'round again
