Crossing the ocean with my window view.
Thinking of the time I spent with you.
And I close my eyes,
I see the family,
Making out their wish list,
All dressed up for Christmas.
On my own for too many years,
I miss the happiness.
I miss the tears.
When I close my eyes,
and I'm all alone.
I think of all the love we shared.
When I need a friend,
Or a helping hand,
I know that you will all be there.
I've been gone for so many holidays.
But you can light the fire,
Cause this year, (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas Day.
I see the children playing in the snow,
Precious memories I used to know.
Then I see the love in a mother's eyes,
Always there to teach us,
The real meaning of Christmas.
On my own for too many years,
I miss the happiness.
I miss the tears.
When I close my eyes,
and I'm all alone.
I think of all the love we shared.
When I need a friend,
Or a helping hand,
I know that you will all be there.
I've been gone for too many holidays.
But you can light the fire,
Cause this year, (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas.
It doesn't matter how old you think you are.
Something happens to you,
When you see that shining star.
When I close my eyes,
and I'm all alone.
I think of all the love we shared.
When I need a friend,
Or a helping hand,
I know that you will all be there.
I've been gone for so many holidays.
But you can light the fire,
Cause this year, (this year)
I'll be home for Christmas.
When I close my eyes,
and I'm all alone.
I think of all the love we shared.
When I need a friend,
Or a helping hand,-
