If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day



Writing letters everyday

Never really seem to say

The way I feel deep in this heart of mine

Thought I'm half a world away

If we're patient and we pray

Know I'll get my chance with you this time



If I get home on Christmas day

I won't need soft words to say

I'll miss you and I can stay a while

You'll see it in my eyes and when I smile



If I get home before midnight

While you're still sleeping tight

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day

I'll take you in my arms and there you'll stay

If I get home on Christmas day
