Santa's Wish [Teach the World] lyrics

One Christmas many years ago

When I was just a boy

I walked along those snowy streets

The windows full of toys

My mom and dad both held my hands

A crowd was up ahead

They gathered 'round a man who sang

And this is what he said ...

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

I'd like to hold it in my arms

And keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand

And hear them echo through the hills

For peace throughout the land

Then all at once he disappeared

Within a flash of light

His tattered coat was left behind

His sleigh was taking flight

And still I hear that melody

That echoed through the night ...

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

I'd like to hold it in my arms

And keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand

And hear them echo through the hills

For peace throughout the land

Sing it now, oh

Oh

As a child I asked the man in red:

"Hey Santa, what's your Christmas wish?"

And this is what he said ...

I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony

I'd like to hold it in my arms

And keep it company

I'd like to see the world for once

All standing hand in hand

And hear them echo through the hills

For peace throughout the land

(I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony)

Let me hear you now

(I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony)

I'd like to teach the world to sing

(I'd like to teach the world to sing

In perfect harmony)
