Twelve months ain't enough time
To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives
But I heard this through the grapevine
Magic happens once a year
January got me thinking about
Getting you a flower, I've been feeling it now
But February came, I can't figure it out
Don't know why I live in fear
March came around, so spring's inbound
But jokes on me, I'm the fool of the hour
April, May, June, still stuck, I ponder
Why am I not drawing near?
And at the heat of it all
My heart still stays cold
The changing seasons change for reasons
After August, I get old
And at the end of it all
I'm still falling like the leaves
September, the colours change, and fearfully I stall
Twelve months ain't enough time
To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives
But I heard this through the grapevine
Magic happens once a year
October night sets, I'm getting restless
November winds blows through my chest, yes
Carrying doubts that I've confessed
It's been a very special year
Twelve months ain't enough time
To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives
But I heard this through the grapevine
Magic happens once a year
But this Christmas, I'm not holding back
I need you under that mistletoe before the dawn light cracks
And this Christmas, I'm making it clear
No more waiting on you
You're a gift to me, my dear
Twelve months ain't enough time
To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives
But I heard this through the grapevine
Magic happens once a year
Twelve months ain't enough time
To make a move, probably need like eighty-one lives
But I heard this through the grapevine
Magic happens once a year
(Sorry we missed July)
