Home for Christmas

Crossing the ocean with my window view

Thinking of the time I spent with you

And I close my eyes, and I see the family

Making out their wish list, all dressed up for Christmas

On my own for too many years

I miss the happiness, I miss the tears

When I close my eyes, and I'm all alone

I think of all the love we share

When I need a friend or a helping hand

I know that you will all be there

I've been gone for so many holidays

But you can light the fire

'Cause this year (this year)

I'll be home for Christmas day

I see the children playing in the snow

The precious memories that I used to know

And I see the love in the mother's eyes (mother's eyes)

Always there to teach us the real meaning of Christmas

On my own for too many years (too many years)

I miss the happiness, I miss the tears

When I close my eyes, and I'm all alone

I think of all the love we share

When I need a friend or a helping hand

I know that you will all be there

I've been gone for so many holidays

But you can light the fire

'Cause this year (this year)

I'll be home for Christmas-

It doesn't matter (it doesn't matter)

How grown you think you are

Something happens to ya

When you see that shining star

When I close my eyes, and I'm all alone (all alone)

I think of all the love we share (I think of all the love)

When I need a friend, or a helping hand (you are there)

I know that you will all be there

I've been gone for so many holidays

But you can light the fire

'Cause this year (this year)

I'll be home for Christmas, yeah

When I close my eyes (close my eyes), and I'm all alone (all alone)

I think about the love we share (I think of all the love we share)

When I need a friend (need a friend) or a helping hand (helping hand)

I know that you will all be there (I know that you'll be there)

I've been gone for so many holidays

But you can light the fire, I'm sending out this wire (sending a wire)

'Cause this year

I'll be home for Christmas day

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, I'm comin' home

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, I'm comin' home

One more time, say, "Ooh"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home)

One more time, say, "Ooh"

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah (I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home)

Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, I'm comin' home (I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home)
