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 dear
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store.

Why don't you give love on Christmas Day¦
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 œHello?¦Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once a 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 or the couple upstairs¦wants you to know there's someone who cares
Give love on Christmas day¦ No greater gift is there than love.

Why don't you give love ¦ There's someone who needs it right now
What the world needs is love¦yes the world needs your love.

Give love on Christmas Day¦
Every little child on Santa's knee has room for your love underneath their 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 on Christmas Day¦
Every Tom, Dick & Harry every Susie Q ¦needs some from somebody just as much as you
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 ¦..ad lib
Give love ¦ ad lib No greater gift is there than love.
What the world needs is love¦yes the world needs your love.
Give Love
