"It's Getting Close To Christmas" lyrics

It's getting close to Christmas, and we're on our own
But how can we be sad when they're all coming home?
And happy smiling faces from all those years ago
Will soon be knocking on our door
It's getting close to Christmas, we think we've done it all
Still some gifts to wrap, but the tree's up in the hall
The fairy lights are working, they'll be here quite soon
Yes, all our family in one room

It's the one time of year when we all come home
From north and south, through rain and snow
There's a warm welcome here by the fireside
Let's raise a glass at Christmas time

It's getting close to Christmas, and they've just rung to say
The traffic is a nightmare, but at least they're on their way
And everyone's excited, the dog's delighted too
But not as much as me and you

'Cause it's the one time of year when we all come home
From north and south, through rain and snow
There's a warm welcome here by the fireside
Peace at last at Christmas time

All of us together make magic we remember our whole life through
These'll be the moments, these'll be the memories we can hold on to
Hold on to

'Cause it's the one time of year when we all come home
From north and south, through rain and snow
There's a warm welcome here by the fireside
Let's raise a glass to peace at last
We all come home at Christmas time
