We waited all through the year for the day to appear When we could be together in harmony You know the time will come, peace on earth for everyone We can live forever in a world where we are free Let it shine for you and me There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day You see the joy in the children's eyes The way that the old folks smile It says that Christmas will never go away We're all as one tonight Makes no difference if you're black or white Cause we can sing together in harmony I know it's not too late The world would be a better place If we could keep the spirit More than one day in the year Send a message loud and clear There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day You see the joy in the children's eyes The way that the old folks smile It says that Christmas will never go away It's the time of year when everyone's together Celebrate here on Christmas day When the ones you love are there You can feel the magic in the air You know it's everywhere There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day You see the joy in the children's eyes The way that the old folks smile It says that Christmas will never go away There's something about Christmas time There's something about Christmas time That makes you wish it was Christmas every day You see the joy in the children's eyes The way that the old folks smile It says that Christmas will never go away It says that Christmas will never go away
