i 
hear the bells saying christmas is here 
they ring out to tell the world 
that this is the season of cheer 
hear the choir 
sing 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 everyday 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 
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
