Christmas will really be Christmas
When folks are happy everywhere
Christmas will really be Christmas
When folks are happy everywhere
Christmas will really be Christmas
When there's laughter for everyone to share
When people can live with each other (each other)
When peace on earth has come to stay (stay)
I said, Christmas will really be Christmas
With the whole world in a better way
Hearts are filled with joy
Instead of worry and fear (instead of worry and fear)
That's when the words "Merry Christmas!"
Will be so much more sincere
Christmas will really be Christmas
When folks are happy everywhere
So let's all keep hoping and praying (and praying)
The time will soon be coming where (be coming where)
Christmas will really be Christmas
And the whole world will smile again
Hearts are filled with joy
Instead of worry and fear (instead of worry and fear)
Christmas will really be Christmas (really be)
With the whole world will smile again
The whole world will smile again
The whole world will smile again
(Christmas will really be Christmas)
Christmas will really be Christmas
(Are happy everywhere)
Everywhere, everywhere
(Christmas will really be Christmas)
Christmas will really be Christmas
(Are happy everywhere)
When folks, yeah
(Christmas will really be Christmas when folks)
Really, really, really, really be
(Are happy everywhere)
Ooh
(Christmas will really be Christmas when folks)
