The whole world is lit up like it's some kind of magic dream
And everyone is in love or that's the way it seems
Outside the snow is falling, inside is just as cold
Lying in this empty bed without you here to hold

So close yet so far away

(For Christmas time)
I'm counting down the minutes
Until I see your face
The only gift I want is
To be in your embrace
I can't wait for Christmas time

And, oh, you're far away now
My heart is there with you
I'm gonna make it somehow
There's nothing I won't do
To be home for Christmas time
For Christmas time

Another crowd of people, another city street
Another day without you, I'm feeling incomplete
And every time it seems like I hear that Crosby tune
It only makes me smile 'cause I know I'll be home soon

So close yet so far away

(For Christmas time)
I'm counting down the minutes
Until I see your face
The only gift I want is
To be in your embrace
I can't wait for Christmas time

And, oh, you're far away now
My heart is there with you
I'm gonna make it somehow
There's nothing I won't do
To be home for Christmas time

There is no sleigh without snow
There is no tree without light
There is no need without you
By my side

(For Christmas time)
I'm counting down the minutes
Until I see your face
The only gift I want is
To be in your embrace
I can't wait for Christmas time

And, oh, you're far away now
My heart is there with you
I'm gonna make it somehow
There's nothing I won't do
To be home for Christmas time
For Christmas time

I'll be home for Christmas...

For Christmas time
