[Verse 1: Mariah Carey]
The whole world feels a little bit more love
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
And everywhere that you go, there's people singin' "Let It Snow"
And hangin' up that mistletoe
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend]
And me and you gon' have ourselves a holiday
And we don't need nobody else to celebrate
And we gon' kiss our worries and our cares away
I can't wait
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend, Mariah Carey, John Legend]
Because this Christmastime, get together
It's gonna be so nice, better than ever
And baby, you're the one, special treasure
I can't wait to unwrap your love
Until Christmas comes (Oh, oh)
Oh, baby (Oh, baby)
[Verse 2: John Legend & Mariah Carey]
So many souls hurt, so many don't have enough
When Christmas comes, when Christmas comes
But baby, if you spread love (Spread love)
Someday it might be enough (Ba, ba-da)
To heal each other one by one
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend]
And we gon' get together and rejoice and pray
And we gon' help the world become a better place
And we gon' sing and shout because the savior reigns
So don't dismay
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend, Mariah Carey]
Because this Christmastime, get together
It's gonna be so nice, better than ever
Because this gift of love lasts forever
The Lord makes our hearts open up
Soon as Christmas comes (Oh, oh, oh)
It's gon' be alright when Christmas comes
[Bridge: Mariah Carey & John Legend, Mariah Carey, John Legend]
(Ooh, yeah, oh) Oh, jingle all the way
Oh, what fun (Oh) (Mmm, hey)
[Pre-Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend, Mariah Carey, John Legend]
And we gon' reminisce about the good old days
(Everybody's talkin' 'bout the good old days)
And we gon' laugh together as the children play
(We'll laugh, la-la-da-da-da-da)
And through the years it's always (Always) gonna be this way
(Gonna be this way)
Come what may
[Chorus: Mariah Carey & John Legend, Mariah Carey]
Because this Christmastime, get together
It's gonna be so nice, better than ever
And baby, you're the one that I treasure
I can't wait to unwrap your love
When Christmas comes
