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 list, all dressed up for Christmas

On my own for too many years
I missed the happiness, I missed 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 just so many holidays
But you can light the fire cuz 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 the mother's eyes
Always there to teach us the real meaning of Christmas

On my own for too many years
I missed the happiness, I missed 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 just so many holidays
But you can light the fire cuz this year
I'll be home for Christmas

It doesn't matter how alone you think are
Something happens to ya when you see that shining star

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 just so many holidays
But you can light the fire
I'm sending out this wire (sending a wire)
Cuz this year I'll be home for Christmas day

I'm coming home . . . I'm coming home . . .
