Lyrics

If I had one wish, for Christmas this year
There'd be no more sorrow, there'd be no pain or tear
If it was up to me, darling, I would build you a world of love
Oh, oh, listen now
We would gather 'round that, that big Christmas tree
And we'd sing a (this)- song together
We wouldn't have no worries, except for the weather
Watch the snow fall
Go hang some mistletoe, y'all
It's a world of love, yeah (lovin')-
Let me tell you something
Every man would see, what the true spirit means
Peace on earth and love and joy
Each one teach one
That way everybody'll reach one
All the babies, every girl and boy
Must have a toy to play with
Oh, don't you have no worries
And just for this one day now, ha
Well then maybe the whole world just might
Maybe we might find a way to make this feeling last
All year round
But don't you ever let the children down
Listen to me now
Whether you're agnostic, Muslim, Christian or Jew
Children of the world, they're dependin' on you
Let me say it again
It don't matter if you're Black, you're white, you're blue, you're Chinese
Everybody, we gotta get together, please
It's a world of love
Do you have a world of love?
All the beautiful people hanging out together
Holding hands, singing a song
Every woman and child and man
Wanna see peace in the holy land
In the world of love, in the world of love
