From my first "Merry Christmas" of the season With every card I address and send There's a longing that starts and it's pulling my heart Home for Christmas again Give me the candlelight service and the carol Read me the story of Bethlehem And though snow is a plus I don't care if I'm just Home for Christmas again Let there be mistletoe and lights aglow The way I recall You leave cookies out for Santa Clause and I'll eat them all Then let's hold hands and we'll thank the Lord together For all of our family and our friends And be thankful that He has allowed us to be Home for Christmas again I want the unmistakable scent of pine filling the air Give me Jimmy Stuart and Judy Garland and Fred Astaire Christmas Eve, if the miles should come between us Just close your eyes and we'll just pretend And if wishes come true next year I'll be with you Home for Christmas again Home for Christmas again
