If I get home, on Christmas day I won't need soft words to say I miss you And I can't stay a while You'll see it in my eyes, and when I smile If I get home before midnight While you're still, sleeping tight I'll take you in my arms, and there you'll stay I get home, on Christmas day Writing letters everyday Never really seem to say The way I feel deep in my heart Though I'm a half world away If we're patient, and we pray Know I'll get a chance, with you this time If I get home, on Christmas day I won't need soft words to say I'll miss you, and I can stay a while You'll see it in my eyes, and when I smile If I get home before, midnight While you're still, sleeping tight I'll take you in my arms, and there you'll stay If I get home, on Christmas day I'll take you in my arms, and there you'll stay If I get home, on Christmas Day
