[HANASHIR:7264] The Hanukkah song

[Carole Rivel <crivel...>]

Wendy,
The song you are looking for, Eight Nights of Hanukah, was written by George 
David Weiss,
and was recorded on a tape by that name (only one song on the tape), in 1990. 
The lyrics
are:

One is for the Temple walls that didn't fall
Two is for the men who fought, G-d bless them all
Three is for the oil they found, enough for just one day
Four is for the miracle that came their way, It burned for eight days.
Five is for the hope and faith that wouldn't die
Six is for the Torah scrolls that still survive
Seven is for all the songs, in honor of them
Number eight, a prayer and amen.

Eight days of Hanukah, eight happy nights
Eight days to celebrate the festival of lights,
Eight gifts of Hanukah, what memories they raise
Of those eight wonderful days.
Let's all count, count the ways.

Ending: Of those eight wonderful days.

The tape is produced by Holiday Time, 1990.
