We need a little love
To light the world from up above
Spreading good tidings to men
Peace once again
That's what my heart's dreaming of
We need a little love

We need a little love
To light the world from up above
Spreading good tidings to men
Peace once again
That's what my heart's dreaming of
And we need a little love

Everyone's dreaming
Of lights that are gleaming
And the bells that are ringing
Joy to the world
But every heart needs to know
The reason for all the glow
Is the love that is shown
From the Christ of Christmas

It's time that we show what's inside
While every heart is opened up wide
We need a little love
To light the world from up above
Spreading good tidings to men
Peace once again
That's what my heart's dreaming of
We need a little love

Do you hear what I hear
A child, a child sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

Oh, we need a little love
To light the world from up above
Spreading good tidings to men
Peace once again
That's what my heart's dreaming of
We need a little love

That's what the world needs now
We need a little love
Put a little love in your heart
We need a little love
