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 up their wish list All dressed up for Christmas On my own for too many years I miss the happiness I miss the tears
CHORUS: When I close my eyes and I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared 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 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 their 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
CHORUS
It doesn't matter How we think you are Something happens to ya When I see that shining star
CHORUS
When I close my eyes And I'm all alone I think of all the love we shared 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 I'm sending out this wire 'Cause this year I'll be home for Christmas Day |
