(written by bryan adams & jim vallance)

We waited all through the year
For the day to appear
When we could be together in harmony

You know the time will come
Peace on earth for everyone
And we can live forever in a world where we are free
Let it shine for you and me

Theres something about christmas time
Something about christmas time
That makes you wish it was christmas everyday

To see the joy in the childrens eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that christmas will never go away

Were all as one tonight
Makes no difference if youre black or white
cause we can sing together in harmony

I know its not too late
The world would be a better place
If we can keep the spirit more than one day in the year
Send a message loud and clear

Chorus:
Its the time of year when everyones together
Well celebrate here on christmas day
When the ones you love are there
You can feel the magic in the air - you know its everywhere
Theres something about christmas time
Something about christmas time
That makes you wish it was christmas every day

To see the joy in the childrens eyes
The way that the old folks smile
Says that christmas will never go away

Repeat chorus

Please tell me christmas will never go away
