Come Home For Christmas

I drove to a farm at the edge of town

Picked the perfect tree out

I cut it down, tied it to the roof of the car

Got it home, Lord knows how

I brought it in, stood it up

Same place we put it up

Last year and the year before

Wreath on the front door

Decorated everything the way we always do

But it ain't the same without you

I never knew that lonesome loved the winter

I never thought that I would hate December

Could you bring my world back?

Is it too much to ask for one day of forgiveness?

If you can't come home for me

Come home for Christmas

I hung up all four stockings on the mantle just in case

I bought hot chocolate and stuff to bake

Cookies for Santa to leave by the fireplace

Instead of breakfast at one house, dinner at the other house

Why can't we work it out?

I never knew that lonesome loved the winter

I never thought that I would hate December

And ever since the first frost

I've been broken and lost

Prayin' for your forgiveness

If you can't come home for me

Come home for Christmas

I never knew that lonesome loved the winter

I never thought that I would hate December

Could you bring my world back?

Is it too much to ask for one day of forgiveness?

If you can't come home for me

I would give anything

If you came home for Christmas

Come home for Christmas
