You can hear the children laughing, pressing noses on the window
Looking back on all the good times, all the good days I remember
And we felt our spirit rising as we snuggled by the fire
And the choir singing carols in the snow
So I'll write this Christmas song in the hopes you'll sing along
Bring back the joy, bring back the joy
Bring back the joy, bring back the joy
Bring back the love, bring back the love
If we just give peace a chance
And the feeling fills the air
This is my wish, that's a Christmas prayer
There was still a certain magic
And our hearts were filled with laughter
We would gather round the piano
We would gather round the piano
Harmonizing to the music
It's so easy to remember
When the world was calm and peaceful
How I wish that we can have it once again
So I'll write this Christmas song
In the hopes you'll sing along
Bring back the joy, bring back the joy
Bring back the joy, bring back the love
Bring back the love
If we just give peace a chance
And the spirit fills the air
This is my wish, that's a Christmas prayer
Bring me back to Christmas time gone by
We can all sing along
Let's all join hands, make a circle around the world. We can do it if we try. So I'll write this Christmas song in the hopes you'll sing along.
Bring back the joy, bring back the love. If we just give peace a chance and the spirit fills the air. This is my wish, that's a Christmas prayer.
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-loo. Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-loo.
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-loo.
Sha-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-loo.
