Home For Christmas

   
Crossing the ocean with my window view 
Thinking of the time I spent with you 
And I closed my eyes 
And I see the family 
Taking out their wish lists 
All dressed up for Christmas 

On my own 
For so 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've 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 years 
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 mother's eyes 
Always there to teach us 
The real meaning of Christmas 

Been 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've 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 
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 
I think of all the love we're shared 
When I need a friend 
Or a helping hand 

I know that you will 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 
Close my eyes 
All alone 
Think about the love we shared 

I need a friend 
A helping hand 
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 way (sending them 
higher) 
Cause this year 
I'll be home for Christmas day
