I'Ll Be Home For Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
home is where you are
It's where fluttering flakes
fall like stars on my face
It's where the scarlet bird sings
and a yuletide shrub sways
It's where these arms get wrapped
in your tinselled embrace
It's where the mistletoe waits
for kisses to exchange
in the old doorway's shade.
I'll be home for Christmas
home is where you are
Its where a stocking gets filled
from a candle bazaar
Its where the dough gets baked
in molds of two heart shapes
to be placed in one cookie jar
I'll be home for Christmas
home is where you are
It's where carols are sung
to the beat of the drum
It's where lights are strung
around our front porch posts
It's where endless stories
of our childhood are told
It's where dreams are made
where my love for you grows
I'll be home for Christmas
home is where you are
It's the butterflies inside
when you look in my eyes
It's the smile on your face
when we all sit down to eat
the meal you just made
I'll be home for Christmas
home is where you are
and wherever you are
it is never too far
for these feet to walk streets
for this love to come flooding
your heart.
