Keith Whitley
A Christmas Letter
[Verse 1]
At an antique desk an old man sits alone
It's Christmas eve and 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
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All that's gonna take is a little more love

[Verse 2]
He walks outside and climbs up on his sleigh
Then calls out to his reindeer
And off they fly away
Tonight he'll make a million dreams appear
While he wishes his own dreams
Could come true this year

[Chorus]
I want peace on earth for Christmas
In a world where there's not one hungry child
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All that's gonna take is a little more love
[Outro]
A day when hope and faith conquers fear and hate
All that's gonna take is a little more love
