Lyrics
- 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 near,
- And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store.
- 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.
- People you don't know smile and nod hello,
- Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy.
- It's that once of year when the world's sincere,
- And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say.
- 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.
- Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
- 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.
- Give love, oh give love on Christmas day
- Every Tom, Dick, and Harry, every Susie too
- Needs love every bit as much as you
- Give love on Christmas day
