IF EVERY DAY WAS LIKE CHRISTMAS

I hear the bells saying Christmas is here.
They ring out to tell the world
that this is the season of cheer.
I hear a choir singing sweetly somewhere,
and the glow fills my heart;
I'm at peace with the world
as the sound of their singing fills the air.

Oh why can't every day be like Christmas?
Why can't this feeling go on endlessly?
For if every day would be just like Christmas,
What a wonderful world this would be.

I hear a child telling Santa what to bring,
and the smile on his tiny face is worth more to me than anything.

Oh why can't every day be like Christmas?
Why can't this feeling go on endlessly?
For if every day would be just like Christmas,
What a wonderful world this would be.
