lyrics

One moment of caring for someone else in need
With a heart of compassion to go with the deed
One moment of sharing, too, lessens one load
Just a little candle can light up the road
If there's no joyous way
To give a festive precious Christmas gift, give love away

Chorus 1:
Give a gift of joy and wonder every day
To someone in despair, so he can live happily ever after
What somebody needs is a Christmas gift
To light up his life in a radiant way
Lend him a hand by sending love
'Cause love is the present you give on Christmas Day

One moment of loving is good for the soul
It's something I know - not what I've been told
Remember the message: it's plain as can be
Ye do unto others, Ye do unto Me
If there is a joyful way
To give a festive special Christmas gift, don't take love away

Chorus 2:
Give a gift of joy and wonder every day
To someone in despair, so he can live happily ever after
What somebody needs is a Christmas gift
To light up his life in a brilliant way
Lend him a hand by sending love
'Cause love is the present you give on Christmas Day

Oo, what a sweet sensation
That we share the love with Someone else
Oo, what a sweet reward
That love means more to You
Love means a lot to You and it's always Heaven's gift to You

Repeat Chorus 1 and fade out
