Comin' Home For Christmas

Comin' Home For Christmas
Mama’s in the kitchen, Christmas on the stove
Daddy’s in the woodshed with ax and overcoat
Everybody’s helpin' to place and trim the tree
The picture’s almost perfect, it’s only missin' me
But I’m coming home for Christmas, save a place for me
I’ll arrive before Saint Nicolas places gifts beneath the tree
Leave a candle burnin' and a key underneath the mat
I’m comin' home for Christmas, you can count on that (let it snow, let it snow)
Snow is gently fallin' as I make my way toward home
I hear sweet memories callin', I’ve been a long time gone
Nothin' like the family and friends to celebrate
The fun, the food, the music, of this special holiday
Oh and I’m comin' home for Christmas, save a place for me
I’ll arrive before Saint Nicolas places gifts beneath the tree
So leave a candle burning, leave a key underneath the mat
I’m comin' home for Christmas, we can all depend on that
Hang holly in the window, hang tinsel on the tree
Hang mistletoe above the door and hang your hopes on me
I’m comin' home for Christmas, no place I’d rather be
I’m comin' home for Christmas, you can count on me
I’m comin' home for Christmas, you can count on me
