(gene nelson, john greenebaum, paul nelson)
At an antique desk
an old man sits alone
it's christmas eve
and it's almost time to go
He signs his name to a letter he just wrote
then he reads it back with a voice as soft as snow
Chorus:
i want peace on earth for christmas
in a world where there's not one hungry child
they would hope and faith
conquers fear and hate
all i'm asking for is a little more love
Then he walks outside
and he climbs up on his sleigh
and calls out to his reindeer
off they fly away
oh tonight he'll make a million dreams appear
while he wishes that his own dreams would come true this year
Repeat chorus
That they would hope and faith
conquers fear and hate
all i'm asking for is a little more love
