Lyrics
[Verse 1]
People makin' lists, buyin' special gifts
Takin' 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
[Verse 2]
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh, even the man who has everything would be so happy
If you would bring him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
[Verse 3]
People you don't know, smilin' 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
[Verse 4]
Why don't you give love on 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
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love, yes, the world needs your love
[Verse 5]
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh, every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love, yes, the world needs your love
[Verse 6]
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh, even the man who has everything would be so happy
If you would bring him love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love, oh
Give love on Christmas Day
Oh, everybody needs love on Christmas Day
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
