home for christmas Lyrics

When I was younger

I watched movies with my mother

I ate cookies by the number

I made mansions in the snow

When I got older

Those things slipped away

I got way too busy

For the awe and wonder

But I can hear

It

Now

Soft bells in the distance

I can feel

It now

It's christmas

So gather all the holiday movies

Tape em on the dvr

Grab the cookies and the frosting

I'll be there, I'm not too far

Put the lights on the Christmas tree

Find all the decorations

Cause I'll be home for Christmas

I still remember

Those holidays in Missouri

With grandpa and the family

They were so special to me

But something bout last year

Makes me believe

That the joy of Christmas

Didn't even fill me

But I can hear

It

Now

Soft bells in the distance

I can feel

It now

It's christmas

So gather all the holiday movies

Tape em on the dvr

Grab the cookies and the frosting

I'll be there, I'm not too far

Put the lights on the Christmas tree

Light a cinnamon candle for you and me

Cause I'll be home for Christmas

I've got a gift or two and something to remember

Christmas is special

Cause if Jesus wasn't born

I wouldn't be here with you

So gather all the holiday movies

Tape em on the dvr

Grab the cookies and the frosting

I'll be there, I'm not too far

Put the lights on the Christmas tree

Light a cinnamon candle for you and me

Cause I'll be home for Christmas
