Away For Christmas

Snowflakes are falling, it's Christmas again The north winds have blown in your family and friends But the one that you long for is an ocean away 'Cuz the work that I do has caused me to stay All the stockings are hung by the chimney downstairs The smell of mama's cookies gently float through the air And the gift that you hoped for may be under that tree It's the one that says "to you, from me" It's the one that says "to you, from me" So you fill up your glass with some holiday cheer Feel the warmth of the season, keep the little one's near And you fondly remember as you fight back the tears When that dog was a puppy with big floppy ears And the kids fall asleep at the top of the stairs Waiting for Santa with cookies to share And the gift left unopened still under the tree It's the one that says "to you, from me" It's the one that says "to you, from me" I'll be home just as soon as I can I'm coming home, I'm coming home Being gone for Christmas wasn't part of the plan But, I'm coming home...I'm coming home Snowflakes are falling, it's Christmas again I'm coming home
