[Verse 1]
So here's to you, and all you do
Let's raise a glass to all that's past, and to the future long may it last
Ohh let it last
And may the light shine on you, and trust your hopes to see it through
Forever after let it be true, for me and you

[Chorus 1]
We all need Christmas, we all need someone to need
Open your heart and let love breathe, this Christmas

[Verse 2]
So say a prayer to light the day, for those we've lost along the way
They may be gone but, they still remain, in our hearts in our name

[Chorus 2]
We all need Christmas, we all need someone to need
Open your heart and let love breathe
We all need Christmas, we all need love to succeed
Follow your heart, and let love lead, this Christmas

[Bridge]

[Chorus 3]
We all need Christmas, we all need someone to need
Open your heart and let love breathe
We all need Christmas, we all need love to succeed
Follow your heart, and let love lead, this Christmas

Def Leppard

In 1977, Rick Savage, Tony Kenning, and Pete Willis were students at a secondary school in Sheffield, England. They had a band called Atomic Mass. Lead singer Joe Elliott joined later that year, and suggested a new band name. Within 10 years, that name, Def Leppard, became one of the most recognised in English rock music. To date, they have released more than 40 singles.

Def Leppard was a definitive part of the new wave of British heavy metal bands in the late 1970s. Their first three albums had tremendous momentum, each outselling the one before. Then, after the release of Pyromania in 1983, drummer Rick Allen lost his arm in a car accident. The band stuck by him through his recovery and retraining.

When Def Leppard came back, they came back hard. Their fourth album, 1987’s Hysteria, was a hard rock masterpiece that took the world by storm. By then the music video had matured as a film style, and Hysteria’s singles and videos had enough pop, sex, colour, and glam to put it over the top. Hysteria was one of the biggest-selling albums of the 1980s.
