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
