Give Love On Christmas Day
Jackson 5 (Holiday) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Taking time to be kind to one and all
It's that time of year when good friends are near,
And you wish you could give more than just presents from a store
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Oh even the man who has everything
Would be so happy if you would bring
No greater gift is there than love
People you don't know smile and nod hello,
Everywhere there's an air of Christmas joy
It's that once of year when the world's sincere,
And you'd like to find a way to show the things that words can't say
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day?
Oh the man on the street and the couple upstairs
All need to know there's someone who cares
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love
Why don't you give love on Christmas Day
Every little child on Santa's knee
Has room for your love underneath his tree
Give love on Christmas Day
No greater gift is there than love
What the world needs is love
Yes, the world needs your love
Give love, oh give love on Christmas day
Every Tom, Dick, and Harry, every Susie too
Needs love every bit as much as you

This was my ultimate favorite Christmas song, and I didn't knew that it was MJ's voice
May Pascua
This song will live forever! Children of the world and children of their children will experience the angelic voice of little Michael Jackson.
KME
Man, Michael Jackson had a golden voice at such a young age, hard to believe that he was singing like he was an adult. It doesn't sound like a kid is singing at all! R.I.P to the King of Pop
Deadra Brown
Thats why his daddy made him the leader!!!!!!
John Luwid
