Peace on Earth – story and lyrics

Song: Peace on Earth

This song was recorded on September 11, 1977 for Bing Crosby’s then-upcoming television special, Bing Crosby’s Merrie Olde Christmas. David Bowe and Crosby exchanged scripted dialogue about what they each do for their family Christmases, before singing “Little Drummer Boy” with a new counterpoint with original lyrics and melody written for the special, “Peace on Earth”.

Below are the lyrics so you can join me in singing this song.

Happy Holidays!

Jeannie Deva

Verse 1

Peace on earth, can it be

Years from now, perhaps we’ll see

See the days of glory,

See the day when men of good will

Live in peace, live in peace again

 

Verse 2

I pray my wish will come true

For my child and your child too

He’ll the day of glory

See the day when men of good will

Live in peace, live in peace again
