The Christmas tree is decorated, All the shopping's done Stockings line the fireplace: one by one All the presents look so pretty Tied with brightly colored bows All these things help make this season Still everybody knows Chorus x2 Christmas needs love to be Christmas Christmas needs hearts for a joy Carolers singing, silver bells ringing And laughter for each girl and boy Christmas needs love to be Christmas It's all that we all need more of Year in, year out, I'm left with no doubt The greatest of all gifts is love
