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...
