I Wish It Could Be Christmas All Year Long lyrics

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 strangers smile at strangers
A time of hope a time to right from wrong
It's time to thank the baby in the manger
How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
Peace on earth good will to men seems a simply thing
But when Christmas ends it passes like a dream
It's Christmas time we put away our sorrow
A time for joy for happiness and song
We give thanks today but who thinks of tomorrow
How I wish it could be Christmas all year long
