Mama's in the kitchen, Christmas on the stoveDaddy's in the wood shed with axe and over coatEverybody's helpin' to place and trim the treeThe picture's almost perfect, it's only missin' meBut I'm comin' home for ChristmasSave a place for meI'll arrive before St. NicholasPlaces gifts beneath the treeLeave a candle burnin'And a key underneath the matI'm comin' home for ChristmasYou can count on thatSnow is gently fallin' as I make my way toward homeI hear sweet memories callin'; I've been a long time goneNothin' like the family and friends to celebrateThe fun, the food, the music of this special holidayOh, but I'm comin' home for ChristmasSave a place for meI'll arrive before St. NicholasPlaces gifts beneath the treeSo leave the candle burnin'Leave a key underneath the matI'm comin' home for ChristmasWe can all depend on thatHang holly in the windowHang tinsel on the treeHang mistletoe above the doorAnd hang your hopes on meI'm comin' home for ChristmasNo place I'd rather beI'm comin' home for ChristmasYou can count on meI'm comin' home for ChristmasYou can count on meOh, I'm comin' homeI'm comin' home (Mmm-mmm-mmm)
