Home For Christmas

Daryl Hall · Other Songs - Daryl Hall

The leaves are falling

December is calling

Feels like that time of the year

Ooh, and a chill in my bones

Got me thinking of home

Home and the one I hold dear



I think that I missed my connection

Stranded and feeling alone

But no matter how mean

This hard road treated me

I always can find my way home



'Cause you know that you're in my heart, yeah

And I always come home for Christmas

Oh, near or apart, oh, so close, oh, so far

I still come home for Christmas

It might be just for a day, oh

But I still come home for Christmas

Oh, how I wish I could stay

'Cause the years slip away

I come home for Christmas

And I always come home

Ooh, yes, I always come home, mm



I see all the lights

Someone told me tonight

They're putting the star on the tree

Yeah, it's a feeling I know

I'll never out grow

Like my first holiday memory



Sometimes we'll! miss our connections

We're stranded and feeling alone

But no matter how mean

This hard road seem to be

We always can find our way home



'Cause you know that you're in my heart, yeah

And I always come home for Christmas

Oh, whether we're near or apart

Oh, so dose, oh, so far

I still come home for Christmas every year

It might be just for a day

But I still come home for Christmas

Oh, how I wish (I could stay)

'Cause the years slip away

I come home for Christmas, yeah



Ooh, no matter how mean

This hard road treated me

L always can find my way home



Oh, you're in my heart

And I always come home for Christmas, yeah

Oh, we're near (Or apart)

Oh, so dose (Oh, so far)

L still come home for Christmas every year

It might be just for a day

But I still come home for Christmas

How I wish (Wish I could stay)

'Cause the years slip away

I come home, I come home

I always come home



Hey, hey (Home for Christmas)

Oh, home for Christmas

You're there and I always come home

Every year to the one I hold dear, yeah

Oh, I always come home, oh, ooh

Home for Christmas, all right, yeah

I always come home

That's where I wanna be with the family, yeah

Oh, I always come home
