Standard (EADGBE)

I don't know if you believe in Christmas

Or if you have presents underneath a Christmas tree

But if you believe in love, that will be more than enough

For you to come and celebrate with me

For I have held the precious gift that love brings

Even though I never saw a Christmas star

I know there is a light, I have felt it burn inside

And I have seen it shining from afar

Christmas is the time to come together

A time to put all differences aside

And I reach out my hand to the family of man

To share the joy I feel at Christmas time

For the truth that binds us all together

I would like to say a simple prayer

That at this special time you will have true peace of mind

And love to last throughout the coming year

(First half of last verse is instrumental.)

And if you believe in love that will be more than enough

For peace to last throughout the coming year

And peace on earth will last throughout the year

second verses are played the same. The first half of the offset bridge or

Chorus
