[Verse 1: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, both]
There is more to this time of year
Than sleigh bells and holly
Mistletoe and snow
Those things will come and go

Don't look inside a stocking
Don’t look under the tree
The one thing we're looking for
Is something we can't see

Far more precious than silver
And more splendid than gold
Is a something to treasure
But it’s something we can't hold, oh

[Chorus: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, both]
As long as there's Christmas
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest
Of the gifts we'll receive
We'll receive

[Verse 2: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, both]
As we all pray together (Ohh)
It's a time to rejoice
And though we may look different
We'll all sing with one voice (Ohh)
[Chorus: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, both]
As long as there's Christmas
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest
Of the gifts we’ll receive
As long as there’s Christmas
We'll all be just fine
A star shines above us
Lighting your way and mine

[Interlude: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack]
Oh-oh...
Light my way
You know I will

[Chorus: Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack, both]
As long as there’s Christmas
I truly believe
That hope is the greatest
Of the gifts we'll receive
As long as our guiding star shines above
There'll always be Christmas
So there always will be the time
When the world is filled with peace and love
