Lyrics
Outside people passing by seem not to mind the traffic or the chill,
It's nearly Christmas Eve and what you see's good will.
Carols ringing through the air, tiny twinking lights
and sprayed on snow bring back a sweeter day,
When strangers say, "Hello."
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas cheer
could last beyond the season?
Wouldn't it be heaven if the world believed
in peace, good will on earth?
If a simple greeting card could heal the scars
and change the hearts of men,
Wouldn't it be nice to hear the angels sing again?
We sing of a holy night when heaven came to earth in a baby boy,
It was a miracle, God's gift of love and joy,
But when the caroling is done and all the decorations stored away,
Let's keep the gift alive, let joy survive the day.
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas cheer
could last beyond the season?
Wouldn't it be heaven if the world believed
in peace, good will on earth?
If a simple greeting card could heal the scars
and change the hearts of men,
Wouldn't it be nice to hear the angels sing again?
If what we sing lives here inside each day throughout the year,
The world might fin'ly see the Christmas light;
Then maybe all the wars could end, we all could join as one
To celebrate the wonder of this night.
Wouldn't it be nice if Christmas cheer
could last beyond the season?
Wouldn't it be heaven if the world believed
in peace, good will on earth?
If a simple greeting card could heal the scars
and change the hearts of men,
Wouldn't it be nice to hear the angels sing again?
