The World For Christmas

It's the night before Christmas and all through the house Not a creature is stirring not even a mouse The stockings are hung by the chimney with care But hopes for St Nicholas I wish I could share I'm 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 I've got Hear the unspoken wish from a tiny tiny tot I only want the world for christmas The blue green forever turning world for Christmas 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 Christmas The blue green forever 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 in our frail crystal ball You wish away wish away wish away all The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow Gives a lustre of midday to objects below Why your eyes won't see When they're given all this light I wonder I wonder this very special night I only want the world for christmas The blue green forever turning world for Christmas 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 christmas The blue green forever turning world for Christmas To restore to repossess 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
