[Verse 1] I hear the bells Saying Christmas is near They ring out to tell the world That this is the season of cheer [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Verse 4] I hear a child Telling Santa what to bring And the smile upon his tiny face Is worth more to me than anything
