Away For Christmas Lyrics

Snowflakes are falling, it's Christmas again

The north winds have blown in your family and friends

But the one that you long for is an ocean away

'Cuz the work that I do has caused me to stay

All the stockings are hung by the chimney downstairs

The smell of mama's cookies gently float through the air

And the gift that you hoped for may be under that tree

It's the one that says "to you, from me"

It's the one that says "to you, from me"

So you fill up your glass with some holiday cheer

Feel the warmth of the season, keep the little one's near

And you fondly remember as you fight back the tears

When that dog was a puppy with big floppy ears

And the kids fall asleep at the top of the stairs

Waiting for Santa with cookies to share

And the gift left unopened still under the tree

It's the one that says "to you, from me"

It's the one that says "to you, from me"

I'll be home just as soon as I can

I'm coming home, I'm coming home

Being gone for Christmas wasn't part of the plan

But, I'm coming home...I'm coming home

Snowflakes are falling, it's Christmas again

I'm coming home
