Each Christmas I make myself a list of Things I'd like to do for everyone that I've neglected And each year I make myself a promise I tell myself that next time December arrives I've been good all the while Then even if only Just for a moment I start to give Like I ought to live I see Christmas Like an open canvas With a golden chance to Colour everything bright Every Christmas Is here to remind us That it's up to each of us to Paint Christmas White Christmas is such a magic season Coz you don't need a reason to reach out and help a stranger And I find that it's the perfect time to Tell someone I love you Or let someone near Know just how much you care So if you're the kind who Don't usually like to Open your heart Now's the time to start I see Christmas Like an open canvas With a golden chance to Colour everything bright Every Christmas Is here to remind us That it's up to each of us to Paint Christmas White So don't let Christmas pass you by Without feeling that you've tried To give the world some harmony It's such an opportunity I see Christmas Like an open canvas With a golden chance to Colour everything bright Every Christmas Is here to remind us That it's up to each of us to Paint Christmas White
