People making lists, buying special gifts

It's a time to be kind to one and all

It's the time of year 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 (Christmas day)



Even the man who has everything

Would be so happy if you would bring

Him love on Christmas day (Christmas day)

No greater gift is there than love

People you don't know smiling out 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 (Christmas Day)



Every little child on Santa's knee

Has room for your love underneath his tree

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)



No greater gift is there than love

What the world needs is love

Yes, the world needs your love



Why don't you give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)

The man on the street and the couple upstairs

All need to know there's someone who cares

Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day)



No greater gift is there than love
