Try not to get worried, try not to turn on to  
Problems that upset you, oh  
Don’t you know  
Everything’s alright, yes, everything’s fine  
And we want you to sleep well tonight  
Let the world turn without you tonight  
If we try, we’ll get by, so forget all about us tonight

Your ship is high  
And I don’t know if it’ll make it down  
But I’m gonna try to slip inside  
The mind of a clown  
Follow me  
Thinking I can save them  
Follow me  
Thinking I can turn a frown…into a smile  
Into a smile  
Into a smile  
Who-oh

Oh, when the snowman brings the snow  
Well he just might like to know  
He’s put a great big smile on somebody’s face  
If you jump into your bed  
Quickly cover up your head  
Don’t you lock the doors you know that sweet Santa Claus is on the way

Now the golden sun can see us kiss  
Every summer day we’ll love like this

When the snow is on the roses  
When the bluebird’s flown away  
In my arms we’ll both remember  
All the love we shared today

Someday, when I’m lonely  
Wishing you weren’t so far away  
Then I will remember  
Things we said today

Just when you think you got it down  
Your heart securely tied and bound  
They whisper promises in the dark

</div>

I don’t care what you do at night  
Oh, and I don’t care how you get your delights  
I will leave you alone, I will just let it be  
I don’t love you and you don’t love me

I got a problem. Can you relate?  
I got a woman calling love hate  
We made a vow we’d always be friends  
How could we know that promises end?

They said there’ll be peace on Earth

And so this is Christmas (war is over)  
And what have we done (if you want it)  
Another year over (war is over)  
And a new one just begun (now)  
And so happy Christmas (war is over)  
We hope you have fun (if you want it)  
The near and the dear one (war is over)  
The old and the young (now)

Send me the pillow that you dream on,  
Don’t you know that I still care for you?  
Send me the pillow that you dream on,  
So darling, I can dream on it, too.
