if i could get one thing for christmas it'd be for all the noise to stop and you can't go wrong with a feel-good song so let's sing let's bring let's sing a little, please let's bring a little peace for christmas whatever you believe in let's bring a little peace for christmas and make all the noise stop like the calmness of the sea when the moon eases off and the cheer of the tree sprinkles magic over me let's bring a little peace for christmas with peace, love and good cheer shake off all of the noise feeling mighty rusty 'round here what's born in happiness has at least half-a-chance and you can't go wrong with a feel-good song
