People making lists, buying special gifts, 

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

It's that 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 (on Christmas day) 

Oh even the man who has everything 

Would be so happy if you would bring 

Him love on Christmas day (on 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 (on Christmas day) 

The man on the street and the couple upstairs 

All need to know that there's one cares 

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 (on Christmas Day) 

Oh 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 



Give love on Christmas day (Christmas day) ...
