HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS
I know it's not that time of year forever
Just another day, some might say
But there's something in the air that
Blows a cool sense of understanding
Some think it's just another celebration
Or a call to throw the petty things aside
Either way, it's safe to say that on this day
Someone's out there, praying for a little understanding
Here I stand on the tarmac
Airplane ticket in my hand
Someone's on the other side
Miles away and warm inside
Waiting at a gate for my arrival
And I'll be home for the holidays
Home beside the fire
Home inside the lights upon the tree
Home for the holidays
I'll be home at the table
Home as we give thanks for family
Home is where the holidays will always be
I see it
Southern California's still got Santa Claus
Chrismtas lights that stay up all year round
But it only snows in the movies
And palm tree leaves, they barely hit the ground
Here I stand in a sound stage
Scarf around my neck, cheeks painted red
One more take and that's a wrap
I still got my bags to pack
Just get me out the door and on my way
'Cause I'll be home for the holidays
Home beside the fire
Home inside the lights upon the tree
I'll be home for the holidays
Right at home and at the table
Home as we give thanks for family
Home is where the holidays will always be
You see it
You see it
See
Here I stand on the tarmac
Waving my ticket in my hand
See, someone's on the other side
Miles away and warm inside
Waiting at the gate for my arrival
For I'll be home for the holidays
Home beside the fire
Home inside a star upon a tree
I'll be home by the fire
Home with the family
Said, home for the holdiays again
Be home for the holidays
Right at home at the fire
Safe inside the lights upon the tree
I'll be home for the holidays
Home and at the table
Home as we all pray for family
Home is where the holidays
Home is where the holidays
Said, home is where the holidays will always be
I'll be home
I'll be home
I'll be home
Said, I'll be home
I'll be home
I'm going home
Said, I'm going home
Said, I'm going home
