People making lists
Buying special gifts
Taking 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 the store
Why don't you
Give love for Christmas day
Even the man who has everything
would be so happy if you would bring
him love for Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know
smile and nod 'hello'
Everywhere there's an air
of Christmas joys
It's that once a year
when the world's sincere
and you try to find a way
to show the things
that words can't say
Why don't you
Give love for Christmas day
Oh, you may hesitate on a couple of stairs
Only to notice someone who cares
Give love for Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Ooo, love
The world needs your love
Why don't you
Give love for Christmas day
Oh, every little child that Santa sees
has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love for Christmas day
No greater gift is there than love
No greater gift is there than love
