At an antique desk

An old man sits alone

It's Christmas Eve

And it's almost time to go



He signs his name to a letter he just wrote

Then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow



Chorus:

I want peace on earth for Christmas

In a world where there's not one hungry child

They would hope, and faith

Conquers fear and hate

All I'm asking for is a little more love



Then he walks outside

And he climbs up on his sleigh

And calls out to his reindeer

Off they fly away

Oh tonight he'll make a million dreams appear

While he wishes that his own dreams would come true this year



Repeat Chorus



That they would hope, and faith

Conquers fear and hate

All I'm asking for is a little more love
