I Wish It Could Be Christmas Forever
I wish it could be Christmas forever
I wish that glow would never fade away
With friends and loved ones near us
‘Round the Christmas tree so tall
We hear the church bells ringing
Dear Lord, bless us one and all
I know I’d be content now and forever
If those Christmas lights would sparkle every day
There’d be candy canes and mistletoe
Children singing carols we know (singing carols we know)
If love and peace on earth would always stay
I know it could be Christmas every day
With friends and loved ones near us
‘Round the Christmas tree so tall
We hear the church bells ringing
Dear Lord, bless us one and all
I know I’d be content now and forever
If those Christmas lights would sparkle every day
There’d be candy canes and mistletoe
Children singing carols we know (singing carols we know)
If love and peace on Earth would always stay
I know it could be Christmas every day
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
