Sitting in some hotel room

Some place far away

Saw a shop light screaming Christmas

Bought your present there today





I'll be home on Christmas day

I am just a thought away

And every Christmas tree

Reminds me where I'd rather be



The drunken Santa on the corner

Looks a little blue

But the twinkle in his eye dear

Looks a little like you





I'll be home on Christmas day

I am just a thought away

And every Christmas tree

Reminds me where I'd rather be

Home on Christmas day

I am just a thought away

But anywhere I'll be

You will always be Christmas to me



Something about this season

Makes me feel a little queer

Everybody's so dam jolly

I wish you were here





I'll be home on Christmas day

I am just a thought away

And every Christmas tree

Reminds me where I'd rather be

Home on Christmas day

I am just a thought away

But anywhere I'll be

You will always be Christmas to me
