I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas
Seeing faces I ain't seen for so long
I can't wait to see the wall to wall
Carpeting you had installed
In the front room, the one we never used.
I just can't wait to be home for Christmas
Even though a few are dead and gone
There'll be sister Sue, and brother Steve
Who spent his life ignoring me
But I don't care
I'm coming home for you
Home for Christmas
Home for Christmas
I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas
To some, I guess, I'm just a name
Like Uncle Dick, who you used to say
Left his wife and sailed away
To Australia, never to return
I'm writing to say I'll be home for Christmas
'Cause who knows when we'll meet again?
Can't afford the round trip fares
Guess I'm not the millionaire
I was planning to be
But I promise you'll see me this Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas
