"Home For Christmas" lyrics

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 day

It doesn't matter (it doesn't matter)
How grown you think you are (ooh, ooh)
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
(Close my eyes) When I close my eyes
(All alone) And I'm all alone
(I think about the love we share)
I think of all the love we share
(Need a friend) When I need a friend
(Helping hand) Or a helping hand
(I know that you'll be there)
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 (sending a wire)
'Cause this year
I'll be home for Christmas day

Ooh, ooh, ooh yeah, I'm coming home
Ooh (oh, oh, oh oh)
Ooh, ooh yeah, I'm coming home
(One more time, say 'ooh)'
Ooh (I'm coming home, I'm coming home)
Ooh (ooh, ooh ooh)
Ooh yeah, I'm coming home
(One more time, say 'ooh)'
Ooh (I'm coming home, I'm coming home)
Ooh (yeah, hey)
Ooh yeah
Ooh (I'm coming home, I'm coming home)
Ooh, ooh yeah, I'm coming home
Ooh (I'm coming home, I'm coming home)
Ooh, ooh yeah, I'm coming home
