Its the night before Christmas and all thru the house
not a creature is stirring not even a mouse
the stockings are hung by the chimney with care
but hopes for saint Nicholas i wish i could share
i am new to this world i arrived here this morn
to this beautiful planet though beat up and torn
i don't need a gift need no more than ive got
hear the unspoken wish from a tiny tiny tot
i only want the world for Christmas
the blue green for ever turning world for chistmas
nothing more nothing less i want it for keeps and i promise to share
so that everyone who wants can cuddle and care
i only want the world for chistmas
the blue green for ever turning world for christmas
to restore to repossess
please make it last my fate is in your hands
oh give me a present for the future
you could follow your heart but you follow a whim
and fill up your stockings way over the brim
ignoring the signs on a frail chrystal ball
you wish away wish away wish away all
the moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
gives a luster of mid day to objects below
why your eyes wont see
when they've given all this light
i wonder i wonder
this very special night
i only want the world for chistmas
the blue green for ever turning world for chistmas
to restore to reposes
please make it last my fate is in your hands
oh give me oh give me oh give me oh give me oh give me
a present for the future
do do do do do do do do do do do do
