Comin' Home For Christmas

(album: A Holly Dolly Christmas - 2020)

Mama's in the kitchen, Christmas on the stove
Daddy's in the wood shed with axe and over coat
Everybody's helping to place and trim the tree
The picture's almost perfect, it's only missing me

But I'm coming home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
Leave a candle burning
And a key underneath the mat
I'm coming home for Christmas
You can count on that

Snow is gently falling as I make my way toward home
I hear sweet memories callin'; I've been a long time gone
Nothing like the family and friends to celebrate
The fun, the food, the music of this special holiday

Oh, but I'm coming home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
So leave the candle burning
Leave a key underneath the mat
I'm coming 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 coming home for Christmas
No place I'd rather be
I'm coming home for Christmas
You can count on me
I'm coming home for Christmas
You can count on me
Oh, I'm coming home
I'm coming home (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
