Crossin' the ocean with my window view Thinkin' of the time I spent with you And I close my eyes and I see the family Thinkin' 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 Think of all the love we shared When I need a friend or a helping hand Know that you will always be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire Cause 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 my 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 Think of all the love we shared When I need a friend or a helping hand Know that you will always be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year, I'll be home for Christmas It doesn't matter how lonely you are Something happens to you When you see that shining star When I close my eyes and I'm all alone Think of all the love we shared When I need a friend or a helping hand Know that you will always be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire Cause this year, I'll be home for Christmas When I close my eyes and I'm all alone Think of all the love we shared When I need a friend or a helping hand Know that you will always be there I've been gone for so many holidays But you can light the fire I'm sending out this fire Cause this year, I'll be home for Christmas One more time say, I'm coming home One more time say, I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home
