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
