From my first "Merry Christmas" of the season
With every card I address and send
There's a longing that starts and it's pulling my heart
Home for Christmas again
Give me the candlelight service and the carol
Read me the story of Bethlehem
And though snow is a plus I don't care if I'm just
Home for Christmas again
Let there be mistletoe and lights aglow
The way I recall
You leave cookies out for Santa Clause and I'll eat them all
Then let's hold hands and we'll thank the Lord together
For all of our family and our friends
And be thankful that He has allowed us to be
Home for Christmas again
I want the unmistakable scent of pine filling the air
Give me Jimmy Stuart and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire
Christmas Eve, if the miles should come between us
Just close your eyes and we'll just pretend
And if wishes come true next year I'll be with you
Home for Christmas again
Home for Christmas again
With every card I address and send
There's a longing that starts and it's pulling my heart
Home for Christmas again
Give me the candlelight service and the carol
Read me the story of Bethlehem
And though snow is a plus I don't care if I'm just
Home for Christmas again
Let there be mistletoe and lights aglow
The way I recall
You leave cookies out for Santa Clause and I'll eat them all
Then let's hold hands and we'll thank the Lord together
For all of our family and our friends
And be thankful that He has allowed us to be
Home for Christmas again
I want the unmistakable scent of pine filling the air
Give me Jimmy Stuart and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire
Christmas Eve, if the miles should come between us
Just close your eyes and we'll just pretend
And if wishes come true next year I'll be with you
Home for Christmas again
Home for Christmas again
