Sitting in some hotel room
Some place far away
Saw a shop light screaming christmas
Bought your present there today

Pre-chorus:
  i'll be home on christmas day
  i am just a thought away
  and every christmas tree
  reminds me where I'd rather be

The drunken santa on the corner
Looks a little blue
But the twinkle in his eye dear
Looks a little like you

Chorus:
  i'll be home on christmas day
  i am just a thought away
  and every christmas tree
  reminds me where I'd rather be
  home on christmas day
  i am just a thought away
  but anywhere I'll be
  you will always be christmas to me

Something about this season
Makes me feel a little queer
Everybody's so dam jolly
I wish you were here

Chorus:
  i'll be home on christmas day
  i am just a thought away
  and every christmas tree
  reminds me where I'd rather be
  home on christmas day
  i am just a thought away
  but anywhere I'll be
  you will always be christmas to me
