People making lists
Buying special gifts
Taking time to be kind to one and all.
It's the time of yeat
When good friends are dear
And you wish you could give more
Than just presents from a store.
Why don't you give love on Christmas day
Oh, even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
Him love on Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love.
People you don't know
Smile and nod "hello"
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy.
It's that once a year
When the world's sincere
And you'd like to find a way
To show the things that words can't say.
Why don't you give love on Christmas day
Oh, the man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone who cares
Give love on Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world need your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas day
Oh, every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world need your love
Give it, oh, give love on Christmas day...
