I was taught that in a sus chord the sus replaces a note, usually the third, i.e. C-D-G or C-F-G.

An add chord a note is added to the chord, i.e. C-D-E-G or C-E-G-D, C-E-F-G or C-E-G-F. Note that the first chord in each example can be called a cluster chord.

I guess Do You Hear What I Hear was a bad song choice!
