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 lists, 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
Precious memories that I used to know
And I see the love in a 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, it doesn't matter
It doesn't matter
How grown you think you are, something happens to ya
When you see that shining star, when I close my eyes
When I'm all alone, I think of all
Think of all the love
The love we share, when I need a friend
(You are there)
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, when I close my eyes
(Close my eyes)
And I'm all alone
(All alone)
I think of all
Think about the love we share
The love we share, when I need a friend
(Need a friend)
Or a helping hand
(Helping hand)
I know that
(Know that you'll be there)
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 day, yeah I'm coming home
Yeah, I'm coming home
One more time, say whooo, I'm coming home, I'm coming home
Whoo, yeah, I'm coming home
(One more time, say whooo)
Whoo, yeah
(I'm coming home, I'm coming home)
Whoo, whoo, whoo, yeah, I'm coming home, whoo
Whoo, whoo, yeah, I'm coming home
