Ooh... Crossing the ocean with my window view Thinkin' of the time I spent with you And I close my eyes and I see the family Thinkin' of 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 And I think of all the love we shared 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 I'll be home for Christmas Day I see the children playing in the snow Precious memories that I used to know And I see the love in the mothers' eyes Always there to teach us The real meaning of Christmas On my own for too many years I missed the happiness, I miss the tears When I close my eyes and I'm all alone And I think of all the love we shared 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 I'll be home for Christmas Day It doesn't matter How old you think you are Something happens to you When you see that shining star When I close my eyes and I'm all alone And I think of all the love we shared 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 I'll be home for Christmas Day When I close my eyes and I'm all alone And I think of all the love we shared 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, I'm sending out this wire 'Cause this year I'll be home for Christmas Yeah... I'm coming home...
