For Christmas, I would like to give A friend to every lonely heart A peaceful country stream To the folks afraid to dream That would be a start For Christmas, I would like to share The hope that comes when life is rough That special kick you get Turning tears to smiles and yet That wouldn't be enough To little people, I would offer Gold doubloons in a pirate coffer Furry friends to share their sleep And a prayer for love, their dreams to keep For Christmas, I would like to send My thanks to lovers everywhere And music soft and clear To all who choose to hear Any little part Of a song that comes from a really, Christmas heart
