You can tell by the way the kids are all grinning And by the size of the crowds in and out of church When there's this many men Out shopping with the women You know it's not just another day off from work Chorus It's Christmas It could only be Christmas Perfect strangers on the sidewalk singing songs Giving is such a part of living Oh I wish it could be Christmas all year long If people smile even when it's against their nature When the news hunts down something nice to say
And they even get along in the legislature You know it's not just any old holiday It's Christmas It could only be Christmas Perfect strangers on the sidewalk singing songs Giving is such a part of living Oh I wish it could be Christmas all year long I wish it was Christmas all year long I wish it was Christmas all year long I wish it was Christmas all year long I wish it was Christmas all year long
