I hear the bells saying Christmas is near
They ring out to tell the world
That this is the season of cheer

I hear a choir singing sweetly somewhere
And a 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 that feeling go on endlessly
For if every day could be just like Christmas
What a wonderful world this would be

I hear a child telling Santa what to bring
And the smile upon his tiny face
Is worth more to me than anything

* Repeat
