Crossing the ocean with my window view Thinking of the time I spent with you And I close my eyes 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 shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for too 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 Precious memories I used to know When I see the love in the mother's eyes Always there to teach us The real meaning of 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 shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I know that you will all be there I've been gone for too many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year(this year) I'll be home for Christmas It doesn't matter how alone you think you are Something happends 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 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(this year) I'll be home for Christmas When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared When I need a friend Or a helping hand I konw that you will all be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire I'm sending a wire That this year I'll be home for Christmas Day
