I Wish It Could Be Christmas All Year Long lyrics

[Verse]
It's Christmas time, the chapel bells are ringing
The valley and the hills are filled with song
A time for peace while all the world is singing
How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
It's Christmas time, when stranger smiles at stranger
A time of hope, a time to right a wrong
It's time to thank the baby in the manger
How I wish it could be Christmas all year long

[Chorus]
Peace on earth, good will to men seems a simple thing
But when Christmas ends, it passes like a dream
It's Christmas time, wе put away our sorrow
A time for joy, for happiness and song
We givе thanks today, but who thinks of tomorrow?
How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
