By Christmas Eve
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.
I'm a thousand miles away, it's not snowing in LA
But I'm falling just the same, I'm sorry
All the flights have been delayed, I've got nowhere to stay
But if I can find my way, I'll hurry
Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
Just tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
And under the Christmas tree, together, yeah, we will be
I promise
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve
And I know it's all on you, keep it together like you're glue
And everything you do, I notice
So I'll bring presents, I'll bring wine
The mistletoe for you and I
And I'll be there just in time to show it
Just hang up the Christmas lights, and I'll do the rest tonight
And tell the kids I'm coming, I swear that I'll be running
Under the Christmas tree, together, yeah, we will be
I promise
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve
Whoa, I'll find my way back to California
I'll follow the map, yeah, somewhere warmer
I'll carry my bags just until I can hold you again
I'm gonna walk, if I have to run
I'll stand on the highway and stop someone
I'll cross the deserts and oceans, a river that's frozen
I'll follow the stars just to find where you are
You can count on me
Make a wish, close your eyes, and believe
I'll be home, home, home, home, home by Christmas Eve
