Everyone's comin' for christmas

Everyone soon will be here

And i'm calling again

Cause i've never been

Without you this time of the year

Everyone's sayin' how are you

Knowin'full well i'm not much

And presents to me

Means you here beside me

The love i'm so used to, the touch

Here in december it's hard to remember

The words of july ... that made us both cry

We've tried it apart and i know from my heart

That it's not working well ... it's just simply hell

Everyone's watchin' for santa

But you're all i'm longin' to see

To hold you once more, just like before

Or it won't be like christmas to me

We've tried it apart and i know from my heart

That it's not working well ... not working well

Won't you please come home for christmas

You're all that i have in this world

You know that i'll wait, won't give up hopin'

No matter how late, the door will stay open

I'm in love with you girl

So come home for christmas to me
