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
