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
