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

and we can live forever in a world where we are free

let it shine for you and me



There's something about Christmas time

something about Christmas time

that makes you wish it was Christmas everyday



To see the joy in the children's eyes

the way that the old folks smile

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 can keep the spirit more than one day in the year

send a message loud and clear



[Chorus:]

It's the time of year when everyone's together

we'll 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

something about Christmas time

that makes you wish it was Christmas every day



To see the joy in the children's eyes

the way that the old folks smile

says that Christmas will never go away



[Repeat chorus]



Please tell me Christmas will never go away
