Couplet 1

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

Refrain

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

Couplet 2

People you don't know
Smile and nod hello
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

Refrain

Give love on Christmas Day
Oh 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

Refrain modifié

What the world needs is love
Yes the world
Needs more love

Refrain

Give love on Christmas Day
Oh every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love
Underneath his tree
So give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift
Is there than love

Refrain modifié

What the world needs is love
Yes the world needs more love

Refrain modifié

Yes the world needs love
Yes the world needs love

Pont

Give love give love
Give love give love
Oh
Give love give love
Give love give love
Oh

Pont

Give it away on this Christmas
How bout returning the love
That God gives us
Give love give love
Give love give love

Intro en finale

Give love give love
Give love give love
