The World for Christmas

[Verse I]
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 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 I've got
Hear the unspoken wish from a tiny, tiny tot

[Chorus]
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

[Verse II]
You could follow your heart, but you follow a whim
And fill up your stockings way over the brim
Ignoring the signs in your frail crystal ball
You wish away, wish away, wish away all

The moon on the breast of the new fallen snow
Gives a luster 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

[Chorus II]
I only want the world for Chistmas
The blue green for ever turning world for Chistmas
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

[Outro]
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
