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
