Do you ever get nostalgic
When the calendar hits December
The winter holidays wouldn't be the same
If you and I were not together
I count down the seconds
Every minute, every day
That I'm away
But I'll be home for Christmas
I'm coming home with something nice
You and me with the family next to the tree
And the snow outside
It's falling all around us
Turning evergreen to white
Might take a plane or a train
Or the back of a bus
Oh but I'll be home for Christmas
Buy some peppermint
Find the ornaments
But baby wait for me to hang the stockings
[?]
Read the real story
Right before St. Nick comes knocking
I count down the seconds
Every minute, every day
I'm on my way
I'll be home for Christmas
I'm coming home with something nice
You and me with the family next to the tree
And the snow outside
It's falling all around us
Turning evergreen to white
Might take a plane or a train
Or the back of a bus
Oh but I'll be home for Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
Yeah I'll be home for Christmas
