I missed the snow
I missed my mother's face
So I dialed my childhood number
And when the call went through
She asked any chance,
Should I set a place
I said make it two
I'm coming out for Christmas
This is the year that I'll be
There with my family
Love and joy for girls or boys
Ain't that supposed to be
What it's all about?
I'm coming out for Christmas
Man it's cold but to hold your hand
I'm taking off my gloves
As memories stoke in chimney
Smoke, pine and cinnamon
Finally I will introduce my love
Oh, as not just my friend
I'm coming out for Christmas
This is the year that I'll be
Here with my family
Love and joy for girls or boys
Ain't that supposed to be
What it's all about?
I'm coming out for Christmas
It's a gift that needs no unwrapping
The unraveling of a lonely lifetime of fear
No ribbons or tinsels
None of the trappings
Could keep me tied
It's a new year
I'm coming out for Christmas
This is the year that I'll be
Here with my family
Love and joy for girls or boys
Including you and me
There is no doubt. Oh
I'm coming out for Christmas
I'm coming out for Christmas
This is the year that we'll be here with our family
Love and joy for girls or boys
Ain't that supposed to be
What it's all about?
I'm coming out for Christmas
