Comin' Home for Christmas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mama's in the kitchen, Christmas on the stove
Daddy's in the wood shed with axe and over coat
Everybody's helpin' to place and trim the tree
The picture's almost perfect, it's only missin' me
But I'm comin' home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
Leave a candle burnin'
And a key underneath the mat
I'm comin' home for Christmas
You can count on that
Snow is gently fallin' as I make my way toward home
I hear sweet memories callin'; I've been a long time gone
Nothin' like the family and friends to celebrate
The fun, the food, the music of this special holiday
Oh, but I'm comin' home for Christmas
Save a place for me
I'll arrive before St. Nicholas
Places gifts beneath the tree
So leave the candle burnin'
Leave a key underneath the mat
I'm comin' home for Christmas
We can all depend on that
Hang holly in the window
Hang tinsel on the tree
Hang mistletoe above the door
And hang your hopes on me
I'm comin' home for Christmas
No place I'd rather be
I'm comin' home for Christmas
You can count on me
I'm comin' home for Christmas
You can count on me
Oh, I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
