Every Day Can't Be Christmas (Reprise)

Every Day Can't Be Christmas is a Reprise duet for 2 sopranos in the Second act of Dick Lieb's opera Elmo Saves Christmas, premiered in 1996. It is sung by Elmo (in a duet with Lightning) after he finally becomes convinced that Christmas should only be one day a year.
== Lyrics ==
Everyday can't be Christmas
that wouldn't be such a treat
You can get tired of chocolate candy
when that's all you eat
Everyday can't be your birthday
that wouldn't be much fun
Too many birthdays aren't half as nice as one,
that you wait for…
Wait for joy and recall
That if every day was Christmas,
There wouldn't be Christmas at all
